    Default How hot are these things ment to get

    Hey everyone just wondering how hot are these machines ment to get ? I mean I get they got no fans or anything only reason I ask is my machine gets really hot on the left had side of the glass . And I get the medal globes are under there but the screen gets hot to the touch on that side and the board gets rather warm so I'm wondering if maybe there is something causing it to heat so much and could possibly be what was blowing the fuse on the reel stop board? I have that in getting looked at so would like to try eliminate any more potential issues before it comes back . Thanks for any help

    Ok , are you keeping the Vent grills open and not blocked ?

    There is vent grills in the back , on the Top of the machine and on the bottom of the machine .

    I sold a old CRT t.v. back in the early 1990's and the guy that I sold it to Blocked the Bottom Vents of the t.v. and popped all the electrolytic capacitors and cooked and cracked the main circuit board well the t.v. was a total right off no saving it .

    Hey thanks for the reply but nope not blocked any vents I is on the floor tho at the moment but I'm pretty sure this old beast doesn't have ne holes in the bottom it has one funny shaped cut out almost all the way through the bottom on the right hand side but that's all it guess I pill the boards off and have a look at what's going on with the lights maybe ? New globes even maybe ��
