Right. It seems the Stadium PSU model no SEA1314/07 is completely knackered. It was powering up the machine to attract and full working order and resetting after about 30 secs. Now it is lucky if it kicks out enough power for the LED to show initialising and move the reels before resetting. There is a mild clicking/sparking sound coming from the PSU itself. Not being an electronics whizz, I can't isolate the faulty component.
I've had a look on ebay, but can't see my particular model of PSU for sale. It seems the RA series are far more prevalent.
My other machine (Flashback) uses this and for some reason it's way heavier than the HOF PSU.
Anyway I'm at the point where I'm considering getting shot of both machines. So two questions, firstly to the huge and expansive readership of this site.
Question one: does anyone have a SEA1314/07 Stadium PSU for sale?
Question two (for Spa): would you be interested in swapping your Duff Beer Guide for a Hall of Fame and a Flashback?
Hall of Fame has switchable stakes prizes key and £35 + £70 decals. All keys and locks in tact. No note acceptor. Was fully working until PSU failure caused by brick dust getting into vent at rear base of cabinet. Only other issue was a weak battery. Machine would lose RAM state unless booted up every fortnight. FYI a 'reset' HOF is about a £50 force from cherry phones. Needs new micro switch in auto nudge button, have to nudge manually.
Flashback has had a reasonably new lamping board (silly over brightness fault on old board) and a new Epoch main board/battery. It plays fine, speaker is currently disconnected, wire needs resoldering. Disconnected as was trying the different stakes prizes combo and annoyed with noisy invalid stake/prize message. Front opener, locks working. Cash box door has no locking mechanism, switches work fine though. Inside base of machine is a mess. What's left of lock/metal assembly on back of cash door is a bit rusty. Lots of cobwebs and bizarre objects. An old cycle inner tube (probably punctured). Some Monopoly money inside cash box which is a cardboard box with carpet on the base. Only has £5 decals, but fully switchable stakes prizes. The game plays fine though, reels, lights, coin acceptor, buttons all work fine in real play and test.
