STARTING FROM SCRATCH
Worst case scenario is the board not repairable. If
a transistor goes and just bums away the board
completely, you have little alternative to building
a new board section.

4 Design Improvements to
the Industry Standard
The "Quick Release"
Ticket Dispenser
Improves serviceability
& reduces
maintenance
Sometimes the shattered portion of a broken board
is best replaced. It is not so bad as it sounds. I use
a hobbyist experimenters board to rebuild the cir-
cuit. In the example of a burnt solenoid driver tran-
"Sometimes your board
invents fire, and the results
can be pretty spectacular!"
sistor, I would mount the replacement and maybe
a couple of supporting components on a small area
of a PC board. Then I would trim the board to
size with a saw. Run jumper wires of appropriate
length back to the original board. Use your discre-
tion when mounting this new board, keep it as close
as possible. For a relatively small piece, I use two
side sticky foam to mount the work nearby or even
stuck right on the old board. Alternatively we could
drill a hole in the board and mount it with a screw
or a bracket.
"Quick Release" face plate
Dynamic, new design allows the
ticket dispenser to "quickly release"
from it's face plate on your cabinet
or ticket door, no tools needed.
Easily replace one dispenser with
another in just seconds. No tools
necessary! The new face plate
retrofits any existing Deltronic
Labs machine.
Bottom METAL ticket guide
The extended, durable ticket guide
prevents curled tickets from catching.
This kind of board damage can be pretty dramatic,
but it needn't be traumatic. A little effort, and per-
haps a bit of tedium, will restore your circuit to
operation.
Foolproof braking system
Our impressive new braking system
eliminates brake slippage, allowing
foolproof, accurate dispensing.
You don't need to pull your hair out.
If only I found that out earlier ...
Optical sensor dust cover
Eliminates dust accumulation and
increases accuracy of the ticket count.
