PROBLEM: Failure of the CRT5037 video
generator chip.
CAUSE: Too high a voltage supply to this
chip.
CURE: Locate the 7812 regulator IC on the
board. Lift the right leg of this 7812
chip (orienting the 7812 with the rretal
tab pointing away or up.vards), and insert
a 150 ohm resistor: between this leg and
where the leg originally connected on the
board.
This resistor will then serve to limit the
current to the CRT5037 prolonging its life
indefinitely.

IDI'E: Pin 8 is used for the Coin Counter.
For every action, there is an equal and
opposite criticism.
