In this video, I get my scope out and show you the difference between the A/C voltage that powers the general illumination and the dual-phase A/C voltage that powers the feature lamps. I'll also show you how the current is alternating between phases allowing one transistor to drive two different lamps at different times. Knowing how this unique system works will help you in troubleshooting your...

    Great video, thanks. A bit unrelated question, but I thought I read somewhere you can convert the game from time based to ball based, or at least modify to ensure you play at least 3 balls - do you know if this is possible? Thanks

    Hi. I'm having same issue with my Beat the Clock. Did you ever figure out the cause? I'm going to try changing outlets, but would be nice to know the cause. Thanks

    • @noquartersarcade
      @noquartersarcade Місяць тому

      I didn’t look any further into it. It’s something with the building wiring, possibly noise on the line. You may have a similar issue. Try plugging your game into an outlet on a different line. If the line your plugged into now also has a sump pump or deep freezer on it, that can cause problems too.

      @@noquartersarcade I tried about 5 different outlets, including a couple that had their own dedicated breakers, but didn't change the flicker. I was looking at District 82 video on bally light flicker and he said he puts 1k resistors on all the lamp sockets. Others in the comments mentioned a lamp driver board would solve the issue for all lights. Thoughts on either of those methods? Here is the link and thanks! ua-cam.com/video/krZR4hQ61VA/v-deo.html

      @@daved2403oh, I thought you were referring to only having a few lamps flickering. No, you need to add resistors across each lamp for the games a replacement lamp board that addresses the issue isn’t available. That’s all the replacement board does. I’ve used different values but 470 ohm or similar works well. The LED only needs a small amount of power to turn on, the resistor adds a load so the LED will turn off.

    Frank ... I have a vintage Pac Man and Super Pac Man cocktail table and was wondering what led bulbs you recommend I use. The four bulbs illuminate the joystick control panels. Would I use the same leds for the coin door? I also have four vintage cabaret machines ... Galaga, Ms.Pac-Man, Tron, and Gorf. Can I use the same leds in these machines ( header and coin door) as with the cocktail tables? Your advice would be very much appreciated.

    • @noquartersarcade

      The coin door lights, control panel lights and cabaret marquee lights are all 12 volt bulbs. The LED’s will be the 12v flash lamp style. Check out comet pinball to get them.

    Thanks for sharing. Do you know if there's a reason to not use AA NIMH rechargeable batteries like Eneloop? I've heard they don't have leaking issues like alkaline, but maybe there are other issues?

    • @noquartersarcade
      @noquartersarcade 3 роки тому

      Games that use AA batteries won’t charge due to the blocking diode that’s there to prevent the game from charging the alkaline batteries. You could theoretically install rechargeable batteries and replace the diode with a jumper or resistor but you may have to play with resistor values and possibly add other components to make sure the batteries don’t get overcharged.
