    Re: Arcade games and bad caps...

    Got hold of this arcade main unit yesterday, is's a Konami DDR board with the pcmcia card and cdrom.
    I did notice only Rubycon and Matsushita caps, all rated for 85 degree.

    Anyone know how to check if this thing is working ? 12V or 24V ? how many amps ?

    Is this 15KHz or 31KHz vga ?

            Looks like this unit is 15KHz, can do a scart workaround to see if it works.Also found the blue security cassette so now this is complete.

                Don't know about traditional (electromechanical) one-arm bandits, but just about all video machines are generally similar to arcade machines. Most games will remember credits, accounting data and the last few games/hands played, while some will also replay right up to the user's last button press if it was in the middle of a game (for example, half way through a poker hand or a set of free games, or even a double up or win that hasn't been taken yet). I had a brand new Konami slot reboot on me last month at Crown Casino, immediately after cashing out a ticket (which was rendered invalid as the machine hadn't verified it due to crashing, and I had to go to the cashier to redeem it since the gaming machines and ticket readers all rejected it).

                    Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                    by momaka
                    I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                    For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                    It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                    Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                    by eryjus
                    Hello,

                    First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                    I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                    I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                    ...

                    Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                    by Paxman_Swede
                    Hello!

                    I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                    The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                    I have studied the board and...

                    Help with switching power supply caps
                    by captain150
                    I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                    I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

                    Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                    by Foetuss
                    Good evening

                    I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                    Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                    But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                    Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
