WILLIAMS SYSTEM 3-6 TEST BENCH SETUP
« on: July 17, 2011, 03:07:05 PM »
Hey guys thougt a few of you might be interested in my latest creation.
   Ive wanted to build this for years but always more important stuff to do.  Im having a F**K everyone else weekend and doing some stuff for me and im very glad i did.

  My woodworking skills are crap but im pretty happy with myself after this effort.

It closes up like a suitcase it will have the entire electrical setup for a williams sys 3-6 inside with an LED lamp Matrix
A dedicated LED for each solonoid output all attaced to one Knocker for load
A setup to test each switch
and a button for each special solonoid

   Still need to find the board mounting brackets and install the displays but you get the idea

Great work Daniel. It will come in very handy. I want to do a similar setup with the Bally / Stern boardset.

That's an excellent looking setup you've built.
Will make diagnosing the earlier Williams boards a whole lot easier for you.

Yeah sure has some weight in it now onces it's all done I'll weigh it just for a laugh.  I can easily carry itat the moment i don't think the displays and
Stuff won't add that much more weight?

The scores won't add anything too noticable, but you might consider putting some castor wheels on the rear of the case so you can roll it around when it's vertical, and use an extender handle like the luggage cases.....

Brilliant job Dan.

so where's my one.  &&

If you need an led and switch matrix made up I am sure I can make you a proper PCB for this.
I am thinking of making up a couple up for my self for a couple of test rigs so if you want one just let me know and I will etch an extra one for you.

Speaking of which.. did you end up using the schematics for mine i sent you ages ago??
