Re: Star Castle Plays Blind

If there's no deflection chatter the first step is to reset the push button fuses on the power supply. Or if you do hear deflection chatter and have an Amperex tube, the tube could be bad. See:

Hello Guys,

Total noob here and looking for some assistance.  

I picked up a Star Castle a few months ago and am just now getting to it.  It coins up and will start a game but it plays 100% blind.  I know my way around a multimeter and understand the risks of playing round with monitors.  I just have no idea where to even begin to troubleshoot this thing and want to make sure I cover all the basics before I start getting into component-level stuff (if that makes sense).  

I try to be as self-sufficient as possible so I promise to try and not bother the group with every little question.  A few pointers to get me started would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Bruce
