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.
