One rectifier test point is below its range with the game in attract mode.
Rectifier test point reads below its range
Cause: That output's bridge is failing. If TP4 (GI, no rectifier) is out, the transformer may be at fault.
Checks
- Measure with the game on and in attract mode, ground at the R1 or R2 lead nearest the fuses.
Fix
- Replace the bridge for that output.
- If only TP4 is out, check the transformer.
The score display supply runs at 170-230 V DC; keep hands off the rectifier and driver boards with power on.
