Holy shit!! I was thinking about li-ion in a project I was working on years ago but never got around to finishing. Don’t think I’m going to go down that path any time soon. Glad you’re okay, that’s some scary stuff!!!Today, 10:31 AM

Reply to LED adapter boards for early SternThere is a discussion in the Meteor owners club on pinside.
Short answer with Alltek board is a 220ohm 1/4watt resistor on Rocket 1 Row in parrallel with bulb. Im trying it soon.Today, 08:03 AM -
Reply to 3 sided cocktail project buildYou can set every game in Mame to rotate positions based on a value in a custom game ini. MAme will use the default mame.ini for all games where an individual game ini does not exist. You could potentially use that on a per game basis but I suspect thats not what you want.

Reply to LED adapter boards for early SternI've got 470 ohm 1/4 watt resistors across the switched lamp sockets in my Trident with no flicker at all. It should use the same lamp driver board as the Meteor as far as I know. It's a tedious job though.Today, 01:20 AM

This thread has helped me a lot! I picked up a 3 sided cocktail machine for pretty much nothing and found that it had one of these blue boards in it. Hard drive was toast.

Reply to LED adapter boards for early SternYep, easy way to see what value resistor is required is using a 1k potencimeter with a 400ohm resistor soldered to the center terminal.

Anyone tried the adapter boards for early Stern machines? Looking for my Meteor and it seems the adapters wont fix flashing on the 21 rocket lemps and you need to add a resistor to each one of those lights. Alternatively is it better just to get the Altek lamp driver board. Obviously one is a much cheaper...2nd June 2020, 07:02 PM
