PROBLEM
Components on the monitor
board burning out.
Sticking flipper action on Will-
iams pin games.
GAMES AFFECTED
SouJTION
All countertop games.
Put a screw on each side of the
interuptor. Then stretch a rubber
band across the interuptor and
hook it on the screws. You can
adjust the tension by looping the
band on the screws or using a
different rubber band.
SYMYI'OMS
Frequent bum out of compo-
nents on the monitor chassis.
CAUSE
Power surges from the AC line
can bum out components on the
monitor chassis.
SOLUTION
Add a varistor (SA3207-01 for the
120V models) across the AC line.
Also, it is important that you do
not remove the ground from the
power cord and please make sure
the game is plugged into a
grounded outlet.

What you're doing is stretching
a rubber band across the end of
the plastic interuptor to add ten-

the springiness of the plastic be-
gins to disappear. Especially
when the plasic gets hot.
