If you’re not interested in the back story feel free to jump straight to my question at the bottom
I just purchased my first pin in non-working condition. It’s a 1978 Charlie's Angels SS. Everything seems to be original aside from a ghetto rigged power/free play switch that was installed at some point. The only other information I have on it is that the outhole coil fires and sticks on the second you flip the power switch (I have not powered it on for more than a few seconds due to this).
I decided that I would start by doing a diagnostics test to make sure everything is getting proper voltage. I began by testing the bridge rectifiers and they both tested sweet. I then moved on to the power supply board and ran into my first problem. The board says the left 2 pins should have 5v (they do), but the far right pin which is supposed to be -12v reads nothing.
Can someone please tell me what no reading on the -12v pin means? Am I going to need a new power supply or is there somewhere else I should start?
Thanks in advance!
