Hi Folks, this is a continuation of the thread Gottlieb Flipper Parade Power.
Thanks to heldereflippers, I now have a stable 110v supply. (The machine had transformer for 220v in, for France, and I'm 240v in, in UK. New extra transformer now fitted correctly, power OK.) Now, I can concentrate on the problems that have been evident since supplying power. Heldereflippers is kindly continuing to help.
My experience of fixing problems on pinballs is about zero. I have some experience with radio schematics (or circuit diagrams, as we call them here) but reading an em schematic is a bit of a challenge for me, but I'm persevering. Usual problems of faded wire colors, etc. I'm slowly getting used to reading a test meter, and I can solder. I thought I'd record progress here. Please feel free to "chip in". First, some general photos. Numbers refer to photo immediately below.
