Title: ATARI FIRETRUCK Post by: Howling_North on December 07, 2014, 02:24:01 pm Bought me an Atari fire truck that wasn't working but the seller is convinces it will startup with a little work. Anyone else done this battle before? Where do I start?

There is where I should start!! Title: Re: ATARI FIRETRUCK Post by: lesoleil70 on December 07, 2014, 06:49:13 pm Maybe you should check the power supply voltages first. Look over the boards for any damage or loose chips before you accidentally fry it.
I wonder if any of these have ever caught fire, that would be ironic.

Anyone else done this battle before? Where do I start? I started with the power supply not working, swapped it out with a known working one. Then the monitor needed to be reflowed, mainly for the adjustment pots . I have 8 of those boards not working and 3 that do. one of the boards ended up in the smokey joe. they do use a filter board but right now its running without it. there is also a board behind the coindoor that handles the vol and shit, has a service switch . make sure that's off. |
