Pengo board arriving today.
I am pretty pumped, I hope everything works just fine.
I took the time last night to do some more cleaning that somehow I missed when I brought it into the house. There was still some dry junk inside the coin door area up front that I vacuumed out. I also took a look back at previous emails with Bob Roberts about what to do about the sound issue.
He said it was probably just a bad connection, that the pot doesn’t usually go bad. Just check the wires back to the board. Well, it is a short trace, the connection goes right to the harness behind the separating board. I looked at the molex connector, and noticed that some of the pins were sunk back a little more.
I took a screwdriver and pushed the pins down so they should make a better connection. I also took that same small gauge screwdriver, and pushed it around in a circular fashion inside each of the female pin connections. This widened them just a little, not enough to make a bad connection, to make the molex connectors fit better and easier. I had such a problem with a tight fit with those Pengo molex connectors, and I felt like this was the best way to loosen them up.
I really hope that fixes my sound issue, and if my sale goes through this weekend on another machine as planned, I am going to immediately order that kit from Prok. I am so pumped to think about having Pengo working perfectly.
