CENTURI "PHOENIX" Modifications
Subjects: 1. "PHOENIX" RESET
2. "PHOENIX" FREEZE
1. To minimize static charge between player and game, which can result in game
resets, the following changes are necessary. Remove existing green ground
wires from harness between mo/ex connector pin 12 and ground lug of control
panel and between control panel mo/ex connector pin 12 and coin door connector
plug. Install 18 A WG, 1/8 in. wide, flat braided wires with soldered ground lugs
(#14-#16 AWG) at each end from A.C. line filter ground lug and coin door and
between A.C. line filter ground lug and control panel.
2. Some "Phoenix" games are having a problem with the '"Phoenix" bird freezing on
top of the screen. One correction for this problem is the adjustment of the +s volt
supply. Voltage should be set between +s volts and +5.2 volts which can be
adjusted through the small round opening located on top of the power supply unit.
