Question
starmark
Hi all. I have never been on a forum but need some guidance.
Wife bought me a Galaga Midway 1981 with a Jama multi game board fitted 8 years ago. Has been working fine up until the day before Xmas 2018, ie, only 20 days ago! Made a few weird noises, then screen went blank.
I removed back of the machine and had a look. Main fuse near power switch was OK. Fuses near what looked like the main power supply also OK. Switched power back on, and noted on what I think is the Jama board it had lights on it and seemed OK, but still no image on screen, no hum from CRT tube, no noise, etc. Had a good look around with a torch and noticed a fuse blown on what looks like the original galaga game board. Went and bought a replacement fuse from Jaycar, fitted the fuse and switched the machine on. Then watched in horror as on the old board sparks started coming from something near the top and a bad electrical burning smell went with it. The fuse I had replaced also blew. All this happened in a couple of seconds before I could switch off the power.
I have attached some photos on which I have made some red circles.
The red circled part at the top was the one that appeared to have sparks coming from it. The other part we noticed that was burnt is also circled red. The fuse that blew is also circled red.
I have no skill in this area, and also no time.
Questions
Is there a suitable trustworthy repairer I can call that does home visits? I live in Rozelle NSW.
If no repairer who I can call to home, can I remove the faulty board and take it somewhere to get fixed?
Can anyone tell me what the parts which I have circled on one of the photos are and what they do?
Many thanks to anyone who has the time and knowledge to help.
Best regards
