Hey all,

Looks like I’m a member of the club! Not sure for how long, considering whether the theme and images are staying in the line up with kids, but first I gotta get it working to see what im dealing with. I can’t get into the backglass, but just ordered a torx security set that will hopefully get me in.... though it might not, not sure on this one. Hoping not to drill another lock like I had to for the coin door. Lights come on, but no game start, and no DMD lighting up, but most of my new pin issues have been fuses so here’s to hoping!

One set of fuses I can see though on the inside left of the cabinet by the left flipper is a board with three fuses. One is missing. I don’t see it in the manual, all I see is what’s in the backglass on there. What are these supposed to be, and do I need all three of them?

Hey all,

I’m in the club! Just need to decide if this game is a keeper, but to do that, I have some fixing to do. I can’t get into the backbox, waiting for torx security screwdrivers to get here. Hoping those fuses are the reason the backbox doesn’t work. Lights up, Crypt Keeper yells out “No Pay-n no game” but can’t start a game.

Until I can get to the backbox, help! The board in the cab near the left flipper only has 2 fuses, with third spot empty. I don’t see the value for any of these or the board further down the wall in the manual or online anywhere. Can someone list those out for me so I can make sure they’re all correct? Also, on the same 3-fuse board, there is a two prong header that I don’t see a wire IDC for. One of the pins looks burned on it (pictured below) so it must have been used at one point.

Also, there are a lot of wire endings in this one that don’t seem to have a home ... is that normal?

Crazy nice playfield on this one, no damage around creature feature hole, cabinet and playfield art as well as shooter lane looks amazing! Never played this one, but might quickly get the updated code for it anyway. Was a great addition to my Hook.

Anyway, more pics of empty wires below.

Cool, I haven’t been able to add credits either, so hoping that’s either a wire disconnect or a fuse too. Unfortunately I’m about to go on vacay with the family, so working on it as much as possible before then haha. Just says the no pay’em once, so will take as a good sign. Thanks for fuse help! I really only see in the manual the back box fuses, so all others would help a lot!

Haha, it’s a maybe, I really want to try out the game, but not ruling it out. Have another person messaging me about it, so feel free to PM me and let’s stay connected while I figure this stuff out.

Interesting, I’ll check out the protector for sure! Story is that this is HUO, and I’m the third owner. Good guy I got it from, but not a collector, I think it fell into his lap. But looked like low plays and untouched for a long time since he had it for at least 13 years.

Mantis protector, I’ll check it out. After reading through the club forum some more, there are some awesome mods out there for this

On, cool, so the first board with the three are all 2.5, and one is a fast blow, and the 5 or so in the other, is that the one you are saying is all 3amp? Half was down the same wall in the cab?

Awesome, thanks Boat! I just went on vacay, so now it kills me that I can’t check until August! Haha

Awesome!

So is the Mantis protector better that a full cliffy protector?

Crappy ... in into the back now ... battery damage!!!

Is my best option finding a rottendog? Haven’t had to purchase a board yet .... haha

Also gonna NvRAM it

I just messaged out to Clive and Allen, we’ll see what they say! Two others I have done work with before said it’s gone, get a Rottendog haha ‍

The official verdict from all parties is ... the board is shot, buy a Rottendog. Haha

All good, but I won’t be able to do it right away, so I guess the game will sit for a bit

Hey all, just sold a game so I can focus on fixing this up. Anyone happen to have a Working MPU board? Batteries toasted mine, and had the experts look at it, there’s no bringing it back. I’ve heard Rottendog can be a mixed bag, so thought I’d see if one is out there.
