Bally SS Power Supply Rectifier board KIT!

[Homepin]

This is a project we have been working on for some time and it is finally coming together. The PCB is made with 3oz copper (standard PCB is 1oz and the original board was standard) and all tracks are beefed up as much as possible. All parts are 'through hole' NO surface mounted parts are used.

The plated through holes are 'double coated' meaning they received a double thickness of plating and we have added numerous large plated through holes to ensure maximum current flow.

The PCB is screened with legends on both sides making identification of the connection points easy. The connection points that take the wires from the power transformer are all double sized so you don't have to squeeze wires into them. Mains fuse holder is an isolated type for safety and the heatsink was custom made for this job - I even had it anodised a nice gold colour  There is a 'power on' LED on the board as well as a very chunky earth tab using a 3mm screw.

All parts will be supplied including brass spacers for the bridges, heatsink compound for the heatsink and all new plastic standoffs for mounting. Also new plugs and connectors to wire on the end of your harness if required (recommended).

I am putting the assembly manual together now and it should be available for download from the Homepin.com website in a week or so. Just waiting on one final part to arrive and we also have to laser cut the clear fuse cover for finished KITs to be ready to ship.

Unsure of the final cost yet but it is likely to be around AU$55~60. Keep an eye on the website for availablity - first batch will be a run of only 30 kits so 'first in - best dressed'.

nice stuff

Well done looks great

Good news, Mike. These are always a pain to recondition. Good fun, but takes a while. I'd much rather build / install your kit.

Looks pretty sexy, might need to go and find some tissues

Seriously, for $60 odd bucks it seems very good value, you honestly couldn't be stuffed repairing an original Bally one for that kind of value, bearing in mind you need to source all the parts and them remove the old ones before you can fit them. Unless of course you want 100% originality.

I'll definately be up for one of these. Bring em on

Yeh... great stuff again.
Reconditioning the original boards is a pain in the butt.

This is a much better option

Love your work Mike 

[ajlaird]

Great work, love the look of that heat-sink!

Will this work on Flash Gordon to? If yes you can put me down for one, and one of the flash units to 
I want to update the electronics components in my Flash Gordon so It will be trouble free in the future!!

love it.
I will be recommending these for any one who sends me an original one to recondition

[Homepin]

Working nicely - just waiting for some final parts to arrive and I can put together some kits.



This is what prompted me to build this board - the hideous mess that was in my machine:

Mike - as part of the kit, can I suggest you provide the connectors and trifuricon pins as mandatory (not just recommended)?

I do intend to provide connectors and pins BUT "trifuricon" types are not available to me and neither are polarising pegs (well they are - but at stupid prices).

I will supply housings and standard pins - note my use of 2 x 10 pin connectors rather than a single 20 pin for J3 - I found it far more managable than a single 20 pin connector - the board can accept both types. I have also marked the board with "J3-L" and "J3-R" and my connectors will have the stickers on them as pictured.
