Playboy 35th Anniversary
Data East, 1989Got a customer's DE playboy with 3.8v on the 5 volts, and some interesting arcs on startup. I need to replace its power board. I don't have any spare Data East ones from that era. I've seen various places that you can stick a williams 11 power board in place of the 5000 DE one. Is it any system 11 power board? I think I have the right ones, but I want to make sure. Are any modifications needed? Or can I just pull it out of a Diner or a Cyclone, and plunk it in?
For a DE Playboy, the earlier WMS Sys11 PS (think Cyclone, Pinbot) should plug right in.
The Diner style is the newer PS, like Taxi - end of sys11 use, and won't be pinout compatible.
I would suggest that you verify the fuse values to the manual before installing it, as I've repaired a ton of these, and don't think I've had many with correct rated fuses installed, and also hook up the inputs and check the output voltages before hooking the outputs up.
