Help with ID of this little bugger...

[CVslots]

Hi guys,


Working on a Raven slot machine from the mid to late 60s, and it appears as though this little thing may be a culprit. Now, just to find a source for a replacement....Any one recognize this? Old school electronics are NOT my cup of tea...


Any help with ID or a possible source would be EXCELLENT!!!!


Thanks a million in advance!

I believe that is a full wave bridge rectifier. It converts AC current to DC
The size looks like it would be in the 4-8 amp range. Need something to compare it to to get an idea on how big that little bugger is.
Should be an easy find.

Approx size is 5/8" x 5/8". A quick Google search of the numbers hasn't returned a whole lot of answers, but you know how that goes.    The middle set of numbers on the back are burnt off/illegible.


Thanks for the clue of bridge rectifier, as I was thinking it was a gate? Like I said, I know nothing about electronic components. Its not like anyone knows what the hell a Raven slot machine even is (and we've got 3-4 to shop/repair/pray for) so schematics or ANY info is hard to come by.


Thanks qbert!!!

5 or 6 amp should be more than enough

Too much or too little will not work?

[qbert]

Too much just creates a space (physical size) issue.
Too small will over tax the rectifier and it will get too hot or may burn.
Either way should not do additional damage to other components.

Did you get the machine to work?

Still a work in progress. Too many projects going on right now to dedicate much time to it, but was able to find the NOS part!    Got it installed, but machine needs to be cleaned and put back together before the moment of truth...I'll try and remember to post some pics when/if we get it up and going.


These Raven machines are tough, as there is ZERO information around on them...frustrating as heck, but rewarding as well!
