I absolutely enjoy vids like this, as I do it for a hobby (repair 12v amplifiers) and those fiberglass scratch pens are wonderful and pretty much a necessity when repairing electronics as well as 99% isopropyl alcohol. I suggest a better tip and heat temperature for the iron, shouldn't struggle or have issues removing components from a board. If you do then you know you're doing something wrong. Anyways I enjoyed and keep uploading!! THANKS!

THANK YOU FOR THE TIP!! :-) I am going tomorrow to pickup my first pinball machine for my collection. It is a Bally/Midway Truck Stop. It has that same type of battery in fact it may be the same type of board in your vid. Thanks to all your videos I went to look at the unit today and the first thing I look at was the battery to make sure it didn't leak and lucky it didn't leak all over the board. So this todd tip will come in handle because I will be changing that battery out as soon as I have the chance.

You can see how the lead free solder is eating away at the tip on the soldering iron. Since it was already wired for a rechargeable 3.6V battery, why not put in a AA size LiFePO4 rechargeable battery and a battery holder for it? You can get those at Target and Rat Shack.

I still favour traditional lead based solder. The non lead ones seem to use quite noxious fluxes to make the stuff stick, and it's debatable whether those are safer than the weaker flux fumes from lead solder. The RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) regulations apply mainly to mass production environments and not the service industry. My own favourite solder used to be the lead/tin and silver version. It flowed beautifully and produced spectacularly clean and shiny joints.

So depending on what pin I have the replacement will vary correct? Some won't require modifying the resistor right? I did end up buying that Dakar btw, it's in great condition and super fun to play. I may be doing a video of it once I get it in place and settled.

Great Vid. I've yet to do this. I've stuck to the remote battery holders with connectors on the wires if someone needed to take the board off. I've also only worked on Williams games where the battery wasn't recharged. I don't think Frank was too concerned with the solder smoke. No biggie. How much LEADED solder do you think Steve Kordek breathed in back in the day when he worked at Genco? And he lived to be a 100.

The original battery is a 3.6V bank of 3x1.2V NiMH is it not ? so is there any reason why it shouldn't be replaced directly with a 3.7V Li-ion battery ? or will that produce a Johnny moment ?
@gringochoppers2 жыл бұрын
I don't get it..what's the purpose of the foil strip?? Why didn't you just connect the battery holder to the old pos and neg connections?? And if you use a rechargeable button cell you won't need to mess with the diode right??
@tntamusements2 жыл бұрын
You remove all remnants of the old holder as there may be latent acid from the rechargeable cell. The lithium removes Amy chance of future leakage. We have had people replace the old cell with another one that eventually leak and then forget and twenty years later a ruined board because they "forgot"!

O_O I'm guessing it's one of two items. course naturally we cut two of the cables connecting the video card to the monitor (oops) so probably have to part that out now. anyone up for a decent 24 inch Asus 1080p lcd screen?
