Judge Dredd
Bally, 1993So tonight I was rebuilding my flippers and noticed my transformer was very hot to the touch. The game had been on for a few hours, not being played. I have a feeling this is not normal, but not sure I have really paid attention either. If it's not, anything I should be on the lookout for to fix this situation? Thanks.
Craig,
First I would look at your power driver board, any hacks? Crappy board repairs? I had a game that had that issue and Jim found someone repinned J115 and did a crappy solder job, it was slightly arcing across the solder causing the transformer to get hot.
I dont really have any good suggestions but great to see other guys depriving themselves from sleep!
