Title: Ice Cold Beer Audio Feedback
Post by: EastSidePinball on May 14, 2016, 03:45:14 am
Hey Guys, we are in the breezeway and we have some audio nightmares with a recent pickup of Ice Cold Beer. I'm a pinball guy and not much experience with arcade games. I accidentally passed out with my Ice Cold Beer on overnight and woke up to a horrible hum or audio feedback that coincides with the display changes. When we disconnect the display we get no hum! Its wonderful but a little troubling to play :-)

We have cleaned the connectors, reflowed solder on the volume knob thingy on the board and no matter what we do we can't get rid of it. Any suggestions would be awesome!

I love the Youtube Channel and my favorite is Arcade Outsiders! Listened since day 1!

might have a bad cap somewhere. The hum is going to be from ac not being filtered properly. Btw, ICB is closer to a pin than a vid :)
