Title: Space Invaders Deluxe Post by: godfather on November 17, 2013, 08:58:02 pm I am having troubles with my space invaders deluxe.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/1174/img00000130.jpg) it was playable before, although there was wave it would move side to side on the screen now when i turn it on; it does this. Any ideas? i can hear it playing in the background the game is playing when i shoot and i can hear the invaders move as well. I have done a cap kit there is no change. I checked the B+ voltage on the potentiometer on the chassis which is Wells Gardner 19v1001. The reading i got was 32.4VDC that was the most i could get out of it. The reading i NEED is 74VDC. not sure where to go from here, because it's clear that pot is not getting enough voltage.

They advised I need to check the B+ area on the chassis which includes transistors, resistors, capacitors etc. Problem is I just need to know how I'm going to do that Title: Re: Space Invaders Deluxe Post by: alby13 on November 22, 2013, 11:28:58 pm I checked with the pros on KLOV They explained I ruled out 90% of what it could be and what I have is a B+ voltage issue.
