Home for the Gottlieb SYS1-SYS80B guys, Yep it&#039;s a club :)

Yes I know I was going to clean that mess up, I was just testing and than come across this problem lol.

I have removed the earth wire mod and have a open circuit on the dmm for the To22o transistors. If I connect the earth mod Q2 still open but LIC1 reads 564ohms, if that helps.

Yes all screws including Q1 are well insulated from the L-plate heat shrink bracket , I tested everywhere poss to make sure their was no grounding on the plate before I put it back in place, only when you put the earth mod back on do you read any ohms and thats just at LIC1.

Reading from pin1 60v and pin5 gnd is open

Would a 2w 10K do for both R10 and R11 or is that to much wattage?

As I am on ebay right now ordering most of the parts required just in case. As I found out I have no 33ohm 1/2 resistors doh.

Here is the kit I used to rebuild. He lists part numbers, maybe it will help you cross reference?

Also this sys1 power supply schematic lists parts like resistors too

Hey all, I'm an uber novice at Gottleibs and need some advice. Is it necessary to run all the ground mods from each board? Or is Todd Tuckey from TNT correct in that the only fix needed is to add another ground wire in the harness in between the driver board and the MPU board? Conflicting info has me confused. Thanks!

Sys1 needs each board grounded. I think on a sys80 the main harness ground was required but some ground each board as well?

Because technically, from a design point, only that one ground is required to overcome the issue of the driver board not being grounded properly to the MPU which drives it.

All other grounding is done in the various connectors back to the main power tray. But one school of thought is to insure that every single board shares a strong common ground such as when other pinball brand boards are screwed to the ground plane. It all depends on the conditions of the connectors male and female pins or board contacts.

5.3.1 is adding a ground to that main harness between boards. Aka the TNT one he is referring to. However pin wiki is mentioning a 5v. The ground was a tsb done by many ops, so mine had it done when I bought it.

i started a thread for some assistance with regards to gottleib EPROM questions.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/gottlieb-eprom-questions

thought i would bring it to sys 80 clubs attention because im sure most of my help will come from you all here

i have a few questions regarding gottlieb EPROMs, more specifically for a Spring Break. i have a spring break that needs lots of TLC. i have gotten it to the point that it will power up and sometimes play. i am quite certain it is a re-import. it currently has German roms in it and all the maintenance menus are in German, and not only that, when it does a rom check it indicates that PROM 1 is bad. i reached out to the pinside community a sort time ago asking for some help with burning ROMs with no responses.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/eprom-help-from-a-fellow-colorado-pinsider#post-4352151

so i have taken it upon myself to purchase my own EPROM programmer. i have arriving tomorrow a GQ-4X. since ordering i have been doing a lot of research on how to burn roms and Ect. i know that whoever owns the rights to gottlieb has everything pretty locked down as far as rom code and manuals. my questions are these...

*does anyone have spring break roms images that they could pass on to me?
*do the rom images that are on virtual pinball sites work if burnt onto EPROMS
*i found the rom images on flipprojects and would be great to have freeplay enabled without a mod, but the rom image is only for EPROM 1 and this may work
because thats my bad one but my other EPROM would still be in German.
*did i just by a EPROM programmer that will do me very little good because ill never be able to find or purchase the images, and will eventually have to
purchase preprogrammed EPROM chips from whoever has the rights. making my new programmer purchase worthless?
*can the EPROM image files be purchased from whoever hold the rights so that i can download and burn and make use of my programmer

any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

I reported a funky slam tilt problem with my Volcano a couple weeks back. Turns out this game was once owned by Ace @ Ni-Wumpf, and the board is a prototype. He updated the code and the slam tilt is no longer an issue. I've got some coils performing intermittently, so next task is to rebuild the CPU/Driver connector. Shout out to Ace - he was a huge help.

Cheers!!

The switch is NOT working!!! Great question!

FINALLY I had some time to test while at work. We had gone through and cleaned switches with business card and alcohol but didn't validate each. I'll have to shine up the contacts and adjust as the ball wire isn't tripping the switch either. I shall update in a day or two.

Hi All,

I have all the parts now for the power supply on this Charlie's Angels.

I have replaced, some twice after bench testing due to the readings i'm getting.

1, All the diodes
2, All the Zener diodes, twice after testing
3, Q2 TIP31C, twice after testing
4, Q3 2N3416, twice after testing
5, Q4 MPSA43, twice after testing
6, All the resistors, same resistance but 1 or 2 watt, twice after testing
7, C9 and C10 Tantalum capacitors, twice after testing

All the other capacitors were replaced before the fault of no voltage.
Both Trim pots were replaced at the same time.

Here is the voltage readings as per the test points on the 60v supply, as to German-Pinball pic on the last page.

I have 32vac on both of the wires in A2J1 using the earth in the same socket
I have 72vac on where it comes onto the board between the diodes.
I have 98.1vdc at C on TIP31C
I have 96.5vdc after R10 and R11
I have 60.7vdc at C on Q4 MPSA43
I have 0.4vdc at B on Q4 MPSA43
I have 88.2vdc at B on Q3 2N3416
I have 96.4vdc at E on Q2 TIP31C
I have 12.5vdc at the earth on C10
I have 95.1vdc at A2P3 for the 60vdc
I have 76.4vdc at A2P3 for the 42vdc

Any help would be great, as this is getting stupid (before no voltage now way to much) lol

Ok All,

Update on the power supply over voltage problem.

Heres what I have done to try and sort this power supply problem:

1, cut the Collector leg on Q2 (TIP31C) and made a board with 3 resistors (2.7k ceramic, 2 x 150ohms) on it. which was soldered in line after the 4 1N4004 diodes to Q2 TIP31C, which brought the voltage down to 60vdc and 42vdc at A2P3. I then plugged A2J3 in with a dmm on the 60vdc just to check as I turned the pinball on. The voltage dropped to 32vdc and the display was very dim.

2, I then took the 3 resistors of the board I had made and put just 1 resistor on it which was 560ohms and with the dmm still reading the 60vdc reading I turned the pinball on again. I now have 58.5vdc at A2J3 and the displays are ok.

Any help on why this is happening would be great

Hi All,

Ok have modified the power supply for the moment just to test (not ideal but not for game use).

So after putting a 3.6v nicad battery pack down out the way. I started the game and now have no sound at all and I think its called the out hole, ie when the ball goes down pass the flippers. It just sits there instead of being knocked out for your second ball, I have tested the switch and tested again at A1J7 where it plugs into the CPU and the switch works when the ball is on it. Also if I turn that switch on and off the game resets the drop targets.

Any help please. or ideas.

Changed both Z6 and Z7 (SN7417N), tested to make sure no link to the pins next to each other after installing them.

Now when I power both the 3/4 fuses blow at the small transformer (fuse mod) which in turn gives the -12v and Z6 now has 0 resistance between pin 14 (+5v) and pin 8 (-12v)

Any ideas would be greatly helpful.

Think I may have found the problem....

I am using Texas SN7417N chips which after some reading, tap 1 is left of the indent on the top of the chip. When I removed the old chips this indent was at the bottom of the board near the J5 connector, but when I tested that chip the 5v was top right of the chip. So this would mean that tap 1 and 14 are at the top looking at the board and not the bottom as to the indent from the original chip.....

Is this correct or am I going nuts.....If it is then I have put the chip in around the wrong way.

On our vacation road trip last week, my wife and I went to Devils Tower in Wyoming. On our way in, we stopped at the neighboring KOA store. Inside, I was amused (but not surprised) to see a Close Encounters pin (with Out of Order sign on it). Chatting with a woman who worked there, she showed me that there was a second Close Encounters pin in the next room (that one was working) and told me that there was a third one elsewhere on the property too.

So, if you go to Devils Tower and need to play a little pinball, stop at the KOA.
