SOLUTION
This service tip from Dave
Dombrowski at Wardak Amuse-
ments here in western New York
state.
Usually you can pull U-7 (7405)
out and see if the game will come
up.
~
SOLUTION
Use wide rubber strip (1") tied to
your line cord as a retractor so the
cord doesn't get crunched when
your location moves the video
game to do floor maintenance.
Attach the giant rubber band to
the top of the game and it will
hold the cord clear of the floor to
protect it.
Cheap Buffalo Bill suggests on-
hand office size rubber bands
linked might do the same job, but
Dave insists there's more life in
his inner-tube style of rubber.
• Ifit gives you video but will not
play,change U-13(74LS541)and
replace U-7 with a new one. This
is one of the most common prob-
lems on this type of poker game.
• If this does not work, check the
+5V de, -5V de, + 12V de, and 60 Hz
(single wire lead) at the power
supply.
