Greetings,
I have an opportunity to pick up a Bally V20/20 Transparent Reels Game for a decent price. Comes with a nice Topper and even a Stand.
According to the seller, the Monitors sometimes flicker on and off, but the game doesn't shut down or try to reboot. The screens just go blank for a minute or so then come back on.
The company he purchased it from suggested replacing the
Power Supply.
Does that make sense?
I've never worked on a Bally like this, but think it's a cool machine and would love to add it to my collection, but I'm not completely sure of where to start troubleshooting this problem if I did decide to buy it.
I don't want to end up putting a ton of parts and money into it, so I'm hoping it's going to be an easy fix.
So, if the experts wouldn't mind commenting on what could cause this problem, I would be greatly apprecitive.
Bad caps in Power Supplies do cause strange things to happen, but so do flakey Monitors or Video Cards.
Thanks, ash100
