Getaway - High Speed 2 Resoration WIP

[Supremicus]

Nothing at all.

*Edit*

No power to it at all from the driver board so hopefully it's just a fuse, i'll check it out tomorrow when theres light.

[Supremicus]

Alrighty F103 was blown which is for solenoid 25-28 and the mars lamp is 27 so i'll see if i can get a replacement fuse from jaycar today to see if i can have a win.

[Supremicus]

Sigh now theres only 8v going to the mars lamp and 0v on the other line, but 8v on each line going to the triac board from the driver board. Fun fun fun. Also going to have to look at the sound board, with the speakers connected or disconnected the amp gets way too hot in no time at all. Also the switch on the tunnel wasn't working was a rooted diode, fixed that now the coil on it has stopped working altogether.

Did you rebuild the driver board at all (ie caps+BR's).   What are the voltages like on the TP's on it?

[Supremicus]

No didn't rebuild it yet because i think theres more problems on the board that a cap and br replacement won't fix eg one of the transistors has a broken leg etc. Trying to diagnose problems at the moment to see if its either a wiring fault or it can be traced back to the driver board then i'll go from there.

I've been there before. I try to make all my games work 100% before I take them apart anymore - but I have several that are torn down with playfields off being restored that were never played before I tore them down.

[Supremicus]

Ok i've traced the couple of problems back to the driver board so i'll sort out my list of components and get them ordered to fix it up. Have finished assembling most of the playfield so that's done and out of the way, and with any luck once the driver board is repaired everything will be ready to go. 2nd photo is so you can see the led's, I quite like it 

[Supremicus]

Success! The supercharger opto's are all working now, i could watch it spin that ball around all night lol. Left to get working is the eject coil and 3 lights.

[Supremicus]

Can someone with a getaway tell me what pin number their red/white wire is on the J106 connector, the manual is giving 2 different numbers J106-3 & J106-5. Should be the turn on wire for the triac board which is why mine isn't turning on.

[johnwartjr]

I will take a look in the morning and post back - I have a complete beacon assy from a parted Getaway, and it has the wiring harness. It worked when the getaway was parted, so I know it's right.

Here's a pic of mine   i think i got the right 1, so i guess it's 5??

[johnwartjr]

Glad someone had a pic.. I checked, and my box o getaway parts has the resistor board, the triac board, the cable that connects them, but not the cable that runs to the driver board :(

Cheers pinmadd

*Edit*

Sweet working mars lamp now  repaired the driver board aswell so now the eject hole is working

[pinmadd]

No prob's bro

WOW - LEDs are quickly becoming very popular, and this looks to be ANOTHER game that are suited to LEDs. I guess it is also a placement decision - Where are they most appropriate.

Nice game - really enjoyed the progress here
