Crystal are the new JPM, is that right? It seems JPM have changed their website recently and all of the support side is missing.

I'll check the board over at those transistors but they are all visibly OK.

Thanks for the advice.

I assume you're just highlighting how heavy it is by mentioning it's over a ton in weight? You certainly would need more than a tranist van if it's that heavy.

If you'd advertised it 2 weeks earlier I'd have had it off you immediately. For now I'll have to keep with my Club Gladiator and get my money's worth from it.

Thanks for that info. I'm going to leave it at the 72% for now as it's in use as y piggy bank.

Sorry to keep asking questions but do you have a service manual/wiring diagram for this tech. Has each lamp got it's own transisitor or are they all via the larger ICs? I am skilled with a multi-meter and soldering iron so as long as I can get the right components I can repair it. It seems that they are out in a random order so without the wiring diagram it would be a nightmare to trace.

Are you a service engineer then? My father used to work for Associated Leisure and a few other companies in Liverpool back in the 70s/80s, I loved to go with him of a weekend and play on the machines in the workshops. He then became Casino manager for Holiday Inn in South Africa, again giving me the opportunity to ply the one arm bandits out of hours :)

Thanks again

Baz,

The old power supply blew a cap and tok out the regulator, common I believe, which blew a diode on the MPU board. A well known company were kind enough to send me out a diode for free and I also had a new PCB sent out for it which seemed to be in perfect order. The buzzing/flickering is virtually non-existant at the moment but I wondered about any correspondance to the faulty lights. I noticed that all of the holders have a diode in place...if these go wil it stop the bulb working in that place?

I just thought of one other question I had about it. It has a variable percentage key fitted but changing the switches sems to make no difference. I can apparently change the %age using the test mode although I'm not sure if this actualy works. Can anyone shed light on the subject?

Thanks again
Lee
