    CV: Bad switch matrix issues (WPC 95)

    Whenever I have intermittent switch matrix stuff like this, I spend a lot of time just looking at the back of the playfield. See what is close to switch terminals and might touch what it shouldn't. Particular attention to the switches in the row/column that fails. 13.7V is fine for the switch...

    This sounds much more promising.

    CV: Bad switch matrix issues (WPC 95)

    Good progress. Sorry, but a simple component like a capacitor will not cause your symptoms. Look at the WPC circuit schematic and see which LM339 needs to be replaced. Make sure you socket them.

    CV: Bad switch matrix issues (WPC 95)

    Your planned tests sound good. A 50V short to the switch matrix is a definite possibility. Keep the 50V off the playfield for now. Yes, you can test the switch matrix with a simple diode connected to 2 wires. This is a great way to confirm CPU board is OK. The other way is to put the CPU...

    0.63mA fuse sounds a bit off. I think you mean 0.63A (or 630mA) fuse.

    WTB Rotation VIII

    Is yours working?? I did have a parts machine which I shipped to Tim Polzin in Alberta. Since my restores are not quite complete, I don't know which parts will be left over.

    WTB Rotation VIII

    They are both complete, and nearly working. The boards have been rebuilt by Tim Polzin. I'm looking to get $2500 each or $4500 for the pair. The old website on these (polzin.ca) is being phased out. I've had much correspondence with Tim Polzin in Alberta who used to support these games...

    That's looks like a woodrail. The coin door for it is a much older type than this is.

    FS Stern Playfields NOS

    They're still there. It's just that the inventory listing for them is awkward. If you search for "playfield - Stern" you will find them.

    FS Stern Playfields NOS

    Good find. Looks like they have Monopoly, Simpsons and Elvis. As time goes on, the pool of NOS playfields will shrink. I'm very patient. However, I have adjusted some of my pricing to reflect fairly to these competitors.
