i noticed a couple of non needed lights did not work on the machine when i got it
i linked 2 lights up together that was on at the same time anyway (coin slots)
shortly after i noticed that about 4 lights no longer go on and off in the sequence they should do ie top left corner of feature board

anyone got any ideas whats wrong and how to fix it ????

Hi, The lampholder probably has a diode built in,you may have got the wires linked the wrong way round.

the best thing is romx if u don't know what your doing then don't mess with the machine. the chances are that u av blown a diode on the lampholder. to which causes a few lamps to light when they shouldn't do.

thinking about the machine since i bought it
we noticed that bulbs kept going quite quick plus the machine didnt start right up very often
ive come to the conclusion there is a problem on this board
(i tried to change the lampholders and same thing)

anyone know where i can get a new board and the price for a replacement ?

is it just the machine that keeps blowing it bulbs, cause there is an OLD homers meltdown in an old quasar type place and about 15 bulbs r out...
is it a problem to do with Bcrest doin shitty boards or summit.
