Robotron 2084 – Soldering day 1

Yes, the parts have arrived.  Luckily they did as my blood-sugar was getting low.  Another couple of moon pies later, thanks BOB!!  Which I happened to have eaten almost instantaneously after the box was opened, long before I grabbed the camera…

Parts installed on the Power Supply circled in yellow, also a power transistor that isn’t in the picture.

…And new parts for the SoundBoard…no surprises here, all capacitors..

Once thats done, its time to test the DC voltages coming off the power supply with nothing plugged in except the coin lights.

Perfect just shy of 5V for the CPU Board.

14V for the soundboard and CPU – a little higher than the 12V it requires but that is typical and should drop with an audio load anyway..

Next up, Lithium Battery Mod the CPU Board, change 3 filter caps on the CPU Board, Cap kit the G07 monitor, make a back door latch, make a log book.
