Hello all,

Hope you are all well

This one maybe for the technical and service type gurus amongst you...

Got a Barcrest Horizon cab and the audio picks up interference from the lighting circuit.
Not all the time but certainly when there is a lot of lights on (especially in attract mode). And it is bloomin' annoying...

Now I did read somewhere it could be a psu issue - so swapped the psu with a known good one and the same thing happens...

The previous owner of the machine has gaffer taped the audio cable loom to the wiring loom for the coin mech - could this be the problem? Bit daft to do this if you ask me....

But I am daft and that's why I am asking your expertise!

Hope some marvellously talented expert can help me.

Thank you in advance and have a nice evening...

Hi slakin,

You will get tech replies here but for a question like this I suggest you also copy it to the mecca (look at the links at the top of the page).

Time of posting this there's an error on the mecca page DOH!!

A lot of the guy's there rebuild machines.

Thank you Ady.

Appreciate that - will give it a go.

Thanks,

Stuart.

When you get a machine of your own you always think theres a problem with sound interference but to be honest its completely normal, MPU5 are pretty bad, Impact is even worse and Epoch is f*****g awful! Probably just normal mate, nout to worry about

Cheers Cardie!
Had a few machines in my time and this is by far the noisiest.
Must be a Friday afternoon assembly job after a boozy Barcrest lunch methinks!

Am I Correct In Saying The Speaker Cable Runs Along-Side Other Power Leads As I Know Even In Car-Audio This Can Cause It To Interfear .. Try Removing The Speaker Wire & Routeing It Far Away From Other (Power Cables As Possible Sure This Will Help)

But As Stated Above You Wont Remove It 100%
