Space Team
Tecnoplay, 1988
X Force
Tecnoplay, 1987Here is my Technoplay X-Force pinball that I recently bought ,cabinet and playfield ar nice condition but problem is a batery leak and cpu board that dont work i need also manual and parts catalog for this pinball that i can repair this game...
Here is a few pictures
I have Space Team and no documentation either. Really wish i had at least a schematic. If you find any paperwork please let me know, and i'll do the same for you. They are the exact same boardset. Note the IPDB.org has documentation for Xforce including some schematics. Nothing there for Space Team. Here's the Xforce manual: http://www.pinrepair.com/wanted/tecnoplay_xforce_man.pdf
Quoted from rvdv:I have full manual & schematics to
My Xforce
It's a large format print
Let me know what you need
Hi, can you send this on my email?
There are quite a few pages
Will need to take pics of each page
Anything specific you need quick?
Send me your email
I need first to check CPU board test points to see ...so i need that first if you can send to my email [email protected] , I have seen that one chip is missing on board or it can be left blank without chip This is a place marked CN4?
Quoted from cfh:This probably doesn't help much but here's a Space Team boot up video. Notice it comes up immediately, there's no flash codes or anything. » YouTube video
Thanks ,nice to see it working...I think something that there might be a problem that I do not have battery, so it needs to be adjusted and there is a possibility that the displays do not work so so I can not see the message...
I'm a little more detail at voltages on the board and I noticed an irregular voltage on connector on the top left of the CPU board
These are my measurements on power input connector on CPU board by pins from top to bottom
11,60 VAC Pin 1 top
11,60 VAC Pin 2
0 VAC Pin 3
0 VAC Pin 4
18,30 VAC Pin 5
6,50 VAC Pin 6
6,50 VAC Pin 7
6 VAC Pin 8
6 VAC Pin 9
3,9 VAC Pin 10
0 VAC Pin 11
3,9 VAC Pin 12 bottom
And these are the values of voltage from manual
11 VAC Pin 1 top
11 VAC Pin 2
0 VAC Pin 3
34 VAC Pin 4
34 VAC Pin 5
10,50 VAC Pin 6
10,50 VAC Pin 7
10,50 VAC Pin 8
10,50 VAC Pin 9
3,6 VAC Pin 10
0 VAC Pin 11
3,6 VAC Pin 12 bottom
I also measured the voltages on the CPU on the test points
on left side of CPU Board
GND -> TP 1 3,9 VAC
GND -> TP 2 3,9 VAC
and ond right side of CPU Board
GND -> TP 6 +1,45 VDC
GND -> TP 7 - 11,70 VDC
GND -> TP 9 +11,70 VDC
GND -> TP 10 +4,78 VDC
And Yesterday I noticed when i mesured voltage on CPU that LED light control for + 50V has stop to work, I guess because the test position TP6 is only 1,45VDC
Now I've seen and continue down below the playfield, there is a power suply with 2 transformers (one small and one big) , three Bridge/Rectifier and a large capacitor,I'll try to replace the big capacitor and the three Bridge/Rectifier and then see what happens...
And here on all you would like to ask if someone can check voltages on yours X-Force or the Space Team so I can compare to my measurements to see the difference....
just test the bridges don't replace them. most of your voltage checks are OK. you're using ground for testing, right? well you really can't do that with AC voltages. Usually you'll get half of what you should get for the measurement. Ground is a good reference for DC, but not AC voltages.
Quoted from cfh:just test the bridges don't replace them. most of your voltage checks are OK. you're using ground for testing, right? well you really can't do that with AC voltages. Usually you'll get half of what you should get for the measurement.
Yes I used a ground on the CPU board to test voltages..As it says in the instructions voltage corresponds most except the six wires in the middle connector fromo pin 4 to pin 9
Can you measure voltages on yours pinball machine so that I compare with my ?
Here is my report,the electronic tehnician said that the problem in the power supply or a small transformer that supplies power to the CPU board...with this CPU board which I have carried on to check it to him and with complete transformer installation for supply voltage to CPU board and hi even said that the smaller transformer produce quite heat and voltages that's what I originally looked still is the main problem here...since this is a rare pinball I'll try to fix the transformer I even contacted a nearby located companies here near me, which produces transformers, and we will see ...
in my experience transformers really don't go bad. in the 25 years i've been doing this, i've replaced one transformer. and in that case, it was obvious (you could see the transformer had heat issues.) for a point of reference, i repair more than 500 games a year.
What i'm saying is that you best think really hard before dong anything with that transformer. it's just very unlikely this is the problem.
I found a man who has a service for pinball machines from the early 70 I hope that he help me to fix X-Force...Today I took a CPU board with a power supply to check it so we'll see...this man should know what he's doing as opposed to the first where I was at the beginning..
I have good news, I received a call today from the service man and hi said that the CPU board is working now after repair , the problem was in one chip .... now I can not wait to see the board working in pinball machine and try it out....
you're missing sound too. or you have it turned off. but in attract mode when the blue flasher next to the score displays are flashing, it should be playing a 80s video game like song. it does this for about the first 5 minutes in attract mode, then stops. And when you add credits it also should play a tune.
I found one shop for pinball parts in Germany taht has in stock the new NOS coils for tecnoplay so I'll get there a new coil for my x-force (chopper eject hole,now I installed temporarily a coil of williams bumper that I had on hand but is too weak) and two new flippers because my is different now
Quoted from Jappie:So cool to see a rare and exotic machine like this get revived. Keep up the good work!
Yes and hard to find parts for this Tecnoplay Pinballs
