Asteroids help

[minwah]

Can anyone point me to an idiot proof guide to measuring Asteroids power supply voltages?

I've measured the DC volts at the test points on the AR board and that is fine. I think some of the AC volts may be out, or I could be measuring wrong. I was about to check for 36VAC at the edge connector but my hand/probe slipped and I've blown a fuse (sh*t). Bet they aren't too easy to get hold of in the UK...

[font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]From the back of the cabinet, the 15 pin connector looks like this (X = no pin present):

OXO
XOO
OOO
OOO
OOO

Am I right that these are typically numbered?:[/font]

[font="Courier New, Courier, mono"]15 14 13
12 11 10
9 8 7[/font]
[font="Courier New, Courier, mono"] 6 5 4
3 2 1
[font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]
I've read that there should be 60VAC between pins 10 and 12, but I don't have a pin 12 so I don't think I have the correct info.

Any help would be much appreciated![/font]

I kept some notes when I did this myself. I'll see if I can dig them out.

The numbering looks correct to me, but there are better experts than me

My notes say

Black on pin 11 and red on pin 13 = 65V AC

Slow blow glass fuses can be found at your local motor car store

Slow blow glass fuses can be found at your local motor car store

Or Maplins, called Time Delay.

Thanks guys. Managed to get a 2.5A slow blow fuse from a local lamp shop. Not sure if that will do as replacement for a 3A but will soon find out...
