Beaky's Pinball Repairs

[beaky]

your welcome mate 

It just shows how important it is to replace the electrolytic capacitor on a wpc mpu board and the capacitor after the 5 volt regulator when replacing the bridge rectifiers and capacitors on the power driver board to rectify a resetting problem.

someone had replaced the cap and rectifier not long before leon bought his CFTBL to rectify a reset problem but failed to replace the 2 caps i mentioned above. A few months after Leon bought his machine the reset problem came back. That is why I insist my customers send me both the power driver board and the mpu board when they need a reset problem fixed.

This was the power driver board that had the totally burnt and butchered G.I. section. I designed a board layout that is mounted on to the power driver board and replaces the G.I. circuitry to over come this problem and sent the PCB file to Mike from Home Pin. Mike etched and routed the board to my layout, I then installed all the new components and fitted it to the damaged G.I. section.

Beaky was at my place yesterday to repin my Space Invaders, install the rebuilt boards that I'd sent him and work on some other very annoying general faults.  Beaky's knowledge of Pins and dedication to same is just jaw dropping.  He is like a dog with a bone when he see's a problem with a pin. 

I encourage anyone who needs board work done to utilise Beaky's services.  Personally - I cannot see myself using anyone else for any other pins that I purchase and if I lived in Brissy / Gold Coast I'd be getting him to service mine!  Thanks once again Andrew..

your welcome mate.

thanks for your hospitality, I came across some weird and wonderful faults in that machine but we got through it all in the end.

you have done a fantastic job with the restoration work, I will look great and play great when it is totally finished.

I was happy to come down from the Gold Coast to work on your machine,

hope to catch up again when I am in Melbourne again

i hope you paid him accordingly, lol my only beef with beaky is he has trouble taking the money off you, i had to tip the guy to make the prices fair for him lol, he was to cheap imo

[beaky]

thanks guys. 
yeah I know I don't charge enough but most people through me extra $$ when they pay me.
