Yes you are right Steve Jaycar don't have it but there is a amusement place called Highway Amusements near Jaycar that may have it.

Now for the results from tests.

> all fuses on the rectifier board are good (continuity check outside the holder) except for the 4amp (fuse 3) which has powder floating in it when you tip it.

> checked the test points:
>>TP1 - 5.9 VDC
>>TP2 - 223 VDC
>>TP3 - 13.7 VDC
>>TP4 - 6 VAC
>>TP5 - 43.4 VDC

> checked all plugs - yes very hard to see but fairly positive there is no green corrosion - On J4 (MPU) I thought maybe a way to check the plug is connecting to the board plug I half pushed the plug on and did a continuity test between the board pin and the back of the plug V - results all were good except positions 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 all shared continuity with each other ???? do not know if this should be.

> as for the flashes - it flashes once on flicking the on switch underneath, then about a 2 sec pause then 6 flashes. So maybe can someone can tell me if the 7 flashes start from turning on or after the flash and 2 sec pause.

So the machine still doesn't start into a game and apart from learning test points I am not much wiser. It did go once into the start up tune but the credit did not do anything. Any help would be much appreciated based on what I have discovered.

Cheers
