I turned on the United Brazil pinball. Despite its good looks inside, nothing happened other than 2 lights came on. Still - that the lights came on indicated the power was good for at least part of it.
I checked the fuses - amazed at how little has changed. These are literally the exact same fuses I purchase now at the hardware store in a 60 year old machine. The fuse holders are the same, everything is the same except that since it dates before electronics, everything is individually wired with a wire.
The fuses looked good:
I located the schematic and dug out my multimeter. Initial results looked good, the power coming off the transformer seemed ok.
My problem is that the access panel to the power area is on the side of the unit. I need to get it moved into my workarea so I can easily get access.
In order to do that I need to get it off the sawhorses (I removed the legs for transport)
The wooden legs are in poor shape so rather than simply bolting them back on, I decided to refinish them and get them back to shape first.
