I recently brought home a dead Gottlieb Close Encounters that was in storage a long time.
The battery was not removed and I was not fortunate enough, so the control board needed alot of attention
to replace a few parts and repair a load of traces.
But with this done, it powered right up, and all the coils and lamps work.
But the capacitors C1 en C6 on the power board were dried out and leaking so i decided to replace them all.
C1 4700uF 35v
C3 470uF 10v
C4 1000uF 35v
C5 47uF 63v
C6 220uF 160v
C8 10uF 160v
After this I measured the outputs. +5V and -12v for the cpu were ok. 60v and 42v for the displays also
but the 4 and 8v reference for the displays were way to high. 12 to 14v
Now i have replaced Cr21 with a new 8.2v zenerdiode and Cr22 en cr23 with new 4148 switching diodes.
Now the +8v is there but i've lost my 5v output getting only 3.4v and the 4v output is only 2.1v
Any advice on where to look to repair the 5v output?
Also the place for resistor R1A is not occupied, but mentioned in the schematics.
But looking on google and ebay for other references. it is missing on others aswel.
so i guess it is not needed?
Thanks to any that can help me debug this problem.
I added an image with the voltages i measured on the 723 regulator ic
