Trying to restore the translite of my RW. It has a very faded translite.

So i removed is and sticked it to the kitchen window.. so the light could come trough and i make a high quality picture.
But disaster.. the translite fell off, to the ground. And because of its age the plastic is not as bendable anymore... it broke in 10 pieces
So i taped it all together, and gently put it back where it belongs.

The pictures i had made where not suitable to print out.
Looking on the internet i found a copy being printed bij a company advertising via Etsy.

I received it today.... and see for yourself..
not suitable to use...

My question , has anyone a translite for sale, or is there a high quality picture that i can use to print out??
please PM.

happy Easter and regards

On the red violet violet side, should be +24v dc (put your neg led on the metal casing of the transformer housing) . If this is so, then the coil should activate if you connect the red yellow yellow to GND.
If it does... your problem is in the wiring or transistor. If it is not probably the coil or diode could be a problem.

If it works, with a manual gnd connected, try to find out if the pin 1 2A16p1/j1 connected to pin 10 activates your coil. If it does the Q3 is probably bad... or a connection problem from Q3 to 2A16p1/j1 pin 9 ..
Hope it helps in your quest..

Welcome to the club. I know there are more in this group who have done some playfield changing. I know that DuffyArcade has done a remake of his playfield. He made a series of YouTube video's (

)
So maybe that info will help out.
