Versatility/Performance
The CircuitmaterM Model CAPT6 is a versatile test instrument which covers a wide range of component
measuring needs. The user can measure capacitors from the smallest (200pF) to the largest filter caps
(20,000uF) with a basic accuracy of 0.5%.
Six resistance ranges, covering from 2000 to 20MQ, provide the user with the capability of checking
component values as well as continuity.
The transistor test function measures both gain (hFE) and leakage (lceo) on both PNP and NPN type devices.
The Diode and LED scales read the approximate forward voltage of the device under test, providing a highly
reliable indication of the condition of the tested item.
The Battery Test feature allows the user to quickly check the condition of most batteries used in the lab and
shop by placing them under actual loaded conditions.
The CAPT6 comes with an Operators Manual and a pair of alligator clip test leads. Capacitors with pigtail leads
may also be tested by inserting the leads directly into the sockets provided on the face of the CAPT6.

Reliability
The instrument is designed to provide years of reliable service. Inputs for resistance and diode testing are
protected against voltage overloads up to 500 volts de or ac rms. Inputs for capacitance testing are
protected by an easily replaceable 250mA, 250 volt fuse.

SNK Rotary
Joystick Fix
Evan Wessel
Mercury Amusement
Haverford, Pennsylvania
JOYSTICK ID
For those who have had wires break at the
connectors on SNK (Tradewest) joysticks,
this fix may help. This rotary joystick is used
in Ikari Warriors, Guerilla War, Victory Road,
Time Soldiers and other games.

CAUSE/SYMPTOM
The connector is flexed too much during
game play and the small gauge wires may
break off. The symptom is erratic character
rotation.

CURE
Obtain some GE silicone caulk and spread it
on the wires right up to the joystick connec-
tor. Two inches of coverage should do the
job. This will absorb the vibration and keep
the wires tied together. I've been using this
method for 6 months and have not had a
single wire break.
William.s Buys Out
Bally Coin-Op
-
Williams Electronics Games has bought out
Bally Midway Coin-Op (but not the Aladdin's
Castle arcade chain) for a reported 8 million
dollars. Bally plans to expand production of
its fitness products (Lifecycle, Liferower, and
Lifecircuit) at the facility where video and
pinball games were previously produced.
