SUBJECT
This flipper kit, available through authorized
distributors, should be just what the pinball
operator needs. Most of the parts in the kit will
update the older style 50 volt flippers.
We do not include the coil with the kit due to the
weight and packing, but most operators have
started to use the parallel winding coils on all of
their games for longer life and constant power.

Dynam.o Power Plus Supply Notes
Ken Williams
Dynamo Corporation
Richland Hills, Texas
The correct pin-out is as follows:
• Red to White
• Green to Black
• Black to Green
SUBJECT
Just a word about your Dynamo Power Plus
150w power supply. Dynamo's supply is pro-
tected from over-current draw. If your supply
shuts down you need to check your wiring for a
possible short. It could be a wire has gotten
closed in the coin door causing a short. This
would cause the power supply to shut down.
ISOLATE
After checking wire harness for shorts, wait a
minimum of 30 seconds before restart. Turn
supply back on. It should restart. If not, unplug
power to Pcb at the power supply itself. Wait 30
seconds, turn back on. • If the fan runs you
probably still have a short in the wire harness
somewhere. If not, your power supply is bad.
RETURNS
This supply comes with a 1 year warranty. Do
not break the seal. Please return for advance
replacement. Breaking the seal for any reason
will void your warranty and you will be charged.
TESTING
When testing your power supply for voltage
levels it must have a load on the +5Vdc and the
+ 12Vdc lines. Checking the supply without a
load will result in erroneous readings.
AC NOTE
When looking at your AC output wires you will
notice that the wire colors do not match up. Do
not try to make the colors match. Doing so will
void your warranty and possibly cause
unrepairable damage to your monitor and your
game Pcb. The correct color match up is on a
sticker located by the DC pin-out chart on top of
the supply.

Any other combination will cause damage and or
personal injury.
DISTRIBUTION
Our power supply has been used successfully in
many games, i.e., Moonwalker, Bonanza Broth-
ers and countless other kits in Dynamo's HS-5,
8 and 9 universal cabinets.

PROBLEM
Your I player basketball game is locking up,
leaving the ball gate open, ending a 45 second
game in 5 seconds, and making wierd sounds.

Check the 6-pin female power connector going to
the scoreboard. The pins might look ok, but they
