thejudge Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) I picked up some Caroma stools today and the guy also had this space invaders cocktail machine. He said that he bought the apparently HUO machine in the hope of fixing it without any knowledge on how to do so. He asked Danny Putt regarding the issue and he told him that the PCB had issues and gave him a quote to fix it that he wasn't happy with. I'm not sure how long ago that was but he has now asked me if I knew anyone that could help. I turned the machine on and I did see a glow in the tube, but no other signs of life. So here I am asking if anyone would be able to help this guy to fix his possible PCB problem. He is in the Menai area in Sydney.

0 Johns-Arcade Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Kev maybe (KFE)? :unsure The biggest issue with these clone boards is to be able to work on the PCB, you first need to make a harness to be able to plug the thing in. That's an hour+ operation in itself. You then need to fault find the issue, repair it, and you're now talking possibly many hours in labour. I personally think it's un-economical to repair these PCB's myself, or overly expensive to try (and the owner obviously doesn't want to pay). He's do better finding someone to convert it to an LCD and sticking a 60 in 1 board in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted it original if possible as he already has a 60 in 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
