Road Show
Williams, 1994I was wondering if anyone on Pinside was selling this part, or knew of a pinball store selling this. usually when I google it, then I see several places who have it. I was not lucky this time. Only Marco's came on it and they are currently out of stock. it will be greatly appreciated. The part number is 5768-14073-01 circuit board. I also enclosed a couple of pics of the board I'm trying to replace.

Might want to clean that solder blob off first. I don't think you're going to find a replacement manual eddy sensor board at any of the retailers.

Maybe that giant blob of solder shorting three components together is the problem?
The board looks pretty simple. Should be not that hard to narrow down the failed component and repair it.
Yeah I figured somebody butchered this. I bought the machine knowing it had a sensor issue. I just didn't think it would be so hard to find this part. Do you think a similiar board would work? I will try and see if I can salvage the board in the mean time. thanks
I posted the board parts listing from the manual. Do you have a multimeter? Basically just go through the resistors and make sure they read +/-10% of what they're supposed to be on the parts listing there. Then check out the transistors, zener diodes, etc.. Getting rid of that giant blob of solder so it's not shorting everything in that area (R3, R4, C2, C3, maybe the top part of U1) might make it start working with nothing else needed.
did you calibrate it, these vibrate all the time, prob need to just adjust it, after you get the blob of solder off of course. I had to adjust both of mine.

Oh, right. That's what that potentiometer is for. The LED will let you know when it's triggered. And you want to back the potentiometer off so it's JUST BEFORE the LED lights if I remember right.
But the solder has to be cleaned up first.
Pinbits carries the board. I just bought two just in case mine go bad. I am making a video right now showing the components of the boards and repairing Ted's Bulldozer front which should be posted soon. Below is a link to the boards.

exactly! guarantee that's the problem, besides the glob of solder! lol!
