TAF Fliptronic board schematic wanted

[Mr Pinbologist]

Hi all

As per the subject i'm in need of a copy of the schematic diagram for the fliptronic board for Addams Family.

Just wondering if anyone is able to email me a copy?

My email is; mrpinbol@tpg.com.au

Cheers... Mitch

Isn't it the same as all fliptronic boards?

Should be easily available from IPDB

Fliptronics 1 on Addams, all others are Fliptronics 2. Never had an Addams so never really looked at the difference, although I think you can use the 2 board in an Addams.

I sent the manual over, the board should be in there.

That was the first place i looked before starting this thread  

I already have the game manual, it has no schematics for the actual boards  
There is a separate manual that has ALL the schematics for the boardset, i know as i worked on another Addams about 12 months ago that had both the game manual  AND the separate schematics manual with it.

Hi again guys, i was able to repair the board without the schematics, (just would've made it quicker to do with them)  

But i'd still be interested in a copy of the schematic for the board if anyone can email it to me.

Thanks for the responses so far

Found this:


The fliptronics board is in the upper left corner of the backbox. It could be a fliptronics 1 or II.

What you need is the WPC Schematics manual here:

http://www.pinrepair.com/wpc/wpc-89.pdf

There is one TIP36C and two TIP102s for each flipper. The TIP36C is the big transistor at the top of the board and the TIP102s are the smaller ones.

The Addams manual does not have schematics for the fliptronics boards in it but you need to read the manual because it will tell you which pins from the flippers lead to the connector on the fliptronics board.

So in the Addams manual the upper right flipper is connected to pins 4 and 6 on J902 (Or J802) (Page 3-10).

Jump to the WPC Schematics manual for the Fliptronics board (Page 13) and pins 4 and 6 lead to Q2 (TIP36C) and Q7/Q8 (TIP102s)

Test these transistors as described in Clay's guides (http://www.marvin3m.com/fix.htm). You will probably find that one of the lugs is shorted to ground (the top part of the transistor). Replace all three transistors regardless of which one tests bad.

BTW Fliptronics I boards will only work in Addams. You could technically buy a Fliptronics II board and it would work fine.

Mike, the pinrepair link doesn't work for me. 

Doesnt matter now anyway, its not really needed as i said in my last post i've repaired the board. The pin im working on is up and running fully.  just a few minor details to attend to and it'll be ready for the client to pick up.
