Post by: ddstoys on July 22, 2010, 09:10:46 PM

Can anyone help me im trying to repair a williams display its the type with the million trasistors instead of chips.

  So far ive tested every resistor and diode which check out ok replaced the 6 ics it does have with no luck and anll the transistors test ok but the method isnt 100% acurate does anyone have a schemtic for this style of master display???  Or any idea what  to try next? I really dont feel like replacing all the transistors unless i have no other option

Thanks Mitch a copy would be great.

The problem was one of the transistors not functioning properly so was feeding the same digit info to two displays causing one to fail and the othr display very b right garbage.   I found this because with the one display unplugged one of the digits was brighter than the other found which strobe controled it and cut off the transistor and all display came good except for that digit
