Sound is very low and a 60 Hz hum is mixed in.

Very quiet sound with a 60 Hz hum: bad capacitor on the A5 board

Cause: A failed filter capacitor (C6) on the A5 auxiliary power supply board.

Checks

  • Inspect the electrolytic capacitors on the A5 board for bulging or leaks.
  • Test the capacitors out of circuit with a proper capacitance/ESR meter.

Fix

  • Replace C6 on the A5 board.
  • Because the board is from the mid 1980s, replace all of its electrolytic capacitors at the same time (there are only a few).

Unplug the game before working on the power supply board; large capacitors can hold a charge after power off.
