SUBJECT
PROBLEM
Operators will save time as more and more
manufacturers comply with Standard #28: All
mechanical coin mechs will be interchangeable in
all coin doors.
The picture has a vertical cut off or a folded over
edge on one side of the screen.
SOLUTION
This sounds like a Nintende, C407 capacitor
ADDITIONALLY
problem, but this is a Wells Gardner monitor.
In the works are standards for track ball plugs;
pulling 3rd and 4th players off a PCB, the most
efficient voltages for fluorescent lamps, game
lamps, and hard meters; best method for giving
operators more pricing options for initial game
play (for any players), continuations ...
Well, the solution is also similar. Capacitor C311
4. 7ufd 160vdc in the vertical section is baked
open. Replacing the cap will restore your picture
to normal again.
Several standards are being revised. These will
be printed in an upcoming issue.
