Hi everyone,
I am a new member and new to pinball repair and electronics. I am currently working on a Judge Dredd and have a question about a hack on the ball trough which I am replacing.
On the LED trough board the 12V and Ground are soldered directly to the board. The 5 pin connector is not being used. Additionally both wires have been paired to deliver Power and Ground to the Trough Transistor board. See pic.
Is this the way Power and Ground is delivered to the Trough Transistor board? I mean Daisy chaining off the LED trough board?
Is this a standard hack, why not use the existing 5 pin connector on the LED trough board?
There was a similar question 3 months ago on the forum (same hack) but it wasn't answered. Sorry if this is a basic question, new to electronics and fear of the unknown is holding me back.
Thanks
Chense
