I recently picked up a non-working Gorgar, but I seem to have it mostly working again. All populated scanbe sockets have been replaced (before I got it), and I just put new 40-pin board interconnect connectors on it.
One of the things I've been working on is trying to get the sound & speech working. All sounds & speech work with the test switch on the sound board, and I also put them in my Firepower, and it works fine in there. So while probing around on the driver board checking for voltages on the solenoid TIP 120/102's with the game in attract mode, I noticed that the whole bank of transistors Q25-45 (circled in red in the photo) have no voltage. All the ones above it, Q2-23 measure at expected coil voltage ~39/40VDC.
BTW - I know the resistors are missing at Q41. The knocker was seized and coil burned up, taking out Q40/41. I'm just waiting for the new resistors to come in, I didn't have those on-hand.
Any thoughts on where I should look next to see why I'm not getting voltage to that whole bank of transistors?
Thanks!
