How to Fix a MacGregor Scoreboard

How to repair a scoreboard when the back works but the front does not. I snagged this scoreboard today, brought it home and repaired it. It was sitting on the ground beside a gym dumpster begging for someone to take it home. I drove past it at first but, like a puppy at the pound, heard it whining as I past by. I rescued it and had it repaired in no time! As long as it doesn't wet the floor, I should be able to find it a suitable home. Until then, it will serve as a Very Loud Alarm Clock in my bedroom!
(AC-MCSB2222, AC-1171563, AC-SK2222, AC-1240573 and AC-SK2229R are the same models)

Now that was a great find . I bet you could sell it to the right folks.

I'm sure I could. If the church doesn't need it, I'll continue to use it as an Alarm Clock in the bedroom until I get tired of it.

What if the button dose not work or dose not work well, how do u fix that?

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

Try to spray some electrical contact cleaner in the button

[@tdotsup]

How did you remove the switch to clean?

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

Just squeeze the locking tabs on the sides and push it out of the hole.

We have a scoreboard similar to this that just gave out. The back end works just as you showed up only a few of the lights come on in the front. I was going to buy a new one for around $400 but now I'm going to open it up and see if any of the connections are off or if the power switch is also the issue. Thank you,

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

I hope you figure it out.

@@sayyamzahid7312 thank you!

[@Philosophisticated]

Hi there, your scoreboard is still working? Did you end up having to clean the switch again or replace it?

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

Hector Silva it still works! I never did anything else to it. I use it as a clock in my bedroom 🤣

[@Philosophisticated]

@@JustPlainCommonSense Awesome. If it isn't too much trouble, would it be possible for you to look at your original to video footage or open the back of the scoreboard if you have some free time to help a fellow stranger on the Internet and check out what the model is or what the amperage rating is on the switch. I came across one for sale, but I wanted to know if it made sense to get it and maybe buy a better switch from the get-go in case the original switch is actually dead.

Isn't it sad how many people will throw stuff away without even investigating the problem..... My motto is if its broken i might as well take it apart. I think you should build a man cave around that

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

Nope! I just downloaded the instruction manual and it can be used as a clock and alarm clock!

[@builtrodewreckedit]

Found your channel seeing your gravely tractor videos... i really like it glad to be subscribed.

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

Thanks for subbing. Man this clock looks fantastic in my bedroom and will wake the dead. I'm sure I'll have to muffle down the buzzer after tomorrow morning!

How much you want to sell this for?

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

R.A.E TV I don’t want to ship it

[@coltflash957]

Can I have it

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

You sure could back when I still owned it. I gave it away a long time ago.
