Electronics

Today I went through the electronics of the game and it wasn’t just good news. I first looked at the soldering of the connectors and there were a few cracked solder joints and a few more not looking good, but as a rule, re solder all of them. The not so good news is that almost all of the fuse clips are bad and needs to be replaced. There are 28 of them and I just had 12 in stock so I had to order some more…  The fuse clips of these games are known to be really bad and they can cause a lot of different problems and symptoms.  If you have a DataEast/Sega pinball that acts strange, first check the fuse clips. Use a small screwdriver and gently press against the clip. If it is OK you should feel the clip fighting back but most likely it just folds away.
