    Default Universal, Stop Board Capacitor Question

    Hi all, I have older Pachislo game; Cranky Condor from '96 I think, I am no expert on these things, but this morning when I went to put a few coins in the stop buttons wouldn't stop the reels. Well a couple of hours later after I had tested everything I could I discovered what must be my "Stop Board", and I found a blown fuse in the holder, I inspected the rest of the components on the board, and tested the diodes as best I could, since I can't really isolate them. Went out bought some quick blow fuses and popped one in a flipped the breaker, and Pop the fuse went out again and this time so did the front of a capacitor C1 on the front of the board. Of-course it blew off the silk screen value on it in the process, so I am kinda stuck. It appears to be a tiny electrolytic that looks like its filtering VCC on the cathode side of the the first diode after the fuse. Any one able to read a value off of their own, or perhaps have a schematic or intimate knowledge of these boards ? Thanks for any help..

    grep the Stop Board you have is one of the older models # AC1542aP3. (First Pic)

    Compriate the Schematic we both have is for one of the Newer Stop Boards # S1655aP1. (Second Pic)

    I have a few Older Machines that LD was kind enough to let me take charge of last year. Let me look through them and see if one might have that Stop Board in it. If I have one and it has a value for that Cap on it I will let you know either way.

    Thanks so much, for the schematic, however I am unable to match the PCB component references with this schematic, my PCB is screened with part number 1542aP3, there are some similarities, but I suspect that is because all of these boards are tasked with just about the same thing. I attached a copy of the picture of the entire board, and I apologies in my first post I made mention of the Capacitor at C1 and I meant to say C10.

    I'm digging through the Pachi's now.

    Here is a Better Pic of it. Anyone out there have one of these in their Machines?

    I'm sorry to say that all of my Pachislo's use a 30 pin connector Board of some type.

    Let me Drop an e-mail to someone that might have a Schematic. I'll let you Know.

    These are the caps on a getter mouse. The stop is nearly identical to yours.

    Just a suggestion.

    I would make the repairs, install the correct (maby 1/2 or 1 amp less) fuse and trace the run from the fuse on the Board to which plug powers it. Connect that plug first and power it up. If all is fine shut it off and connect the remaining plugs one at a time each time turning the machine back on. If it all comes back and is up and running, Fantastic. Install the correct rated fuse then and Play Play Play.

    If not and the fuse once again blows that will help track down which wiring harness is causing the problem and lead you to that section of the Pachi for further troubleshooting.

    Just in case anyone else needs to ever replace these caps on this style stop board the small polarized ones are tantalum and are valued a 1uF a piece, the only difference between them is the rated voltage, C10 is 50v and rest are 35v. Cheers.

    Sorry it took so long to respond but I had to order the caps. Changed out the 1uF 50v cap and plugged things in sequentially (Thanks New In Town) and it worked like a champ. Evidently C10 had shorted and since it was a filter cap all the current was going straight to ground. Everything else seems fine. I ended up with about 25 extra capacitors, so if anyone is ever looking for one let me know I will share the wealth. Thanks again folks.
