OK, I'm mystified. Can a transistor be half working?
My Time Machine had the outhole and ball trough kicker not going (and the klacker) Because I had moved it after being stored for a while and it was 2 coils in sequence had to remove the head to get it through a door I chased wiring problems but that was a red herring.
Then I tested by grounding the transistors on the CPU board and the coils worked. I replaced Q46 and the driver transistor. The Klacker and outhole now work.
I didn't replace Q45 (R02) because the Chime 1 (L02) works in test and the less soldering I do on the CPU board the better.
But the trough kicker is still not going and Chime 1 is. I know the L/R relay is working fine. What would cause the Chime to be able to work but the coil not to?
Is it possible that the transistor works with the lower load of the chime coil but fails with the load of the trough kicker coil ?
PS, thanks to whoever updated the manual on IPDB with good colour scans of the schematics - I had the copy I had downloaded 15 years ago which was close to illegible,especially on the A4 printer I had then. A3 and good scans is fantastic
