I just picked up this IGT The Terminator (c) 2000 Canal+DA 3 reel machine and it was not working at all...no power, I found the circuit breaker tripped on the transformer so I reset it. The machine now only partially works. Basically you can bet, spin and stop the reels and it will pay out but it has NO sound, the LED matrix display does not light up, the CFL light above the reels  doesn't light and the side and top light are inop. It looks like all of the stuff that doesn't work connects to the sound/ light board at the top of the machine on the back wall.  The numbers on the board are PI19D 01A.  I checked the 8 pin connector from the power supply  to this board and the voltages just are not there (not sure what they should be) but they are inconsistent and then drop very low.
I believe I may have a partially working power supply.  The sticker on it says N059178 the numbers on the board inside are PI10G-A IGT Japan.

Does anyone have a schematic for this machine? so I can confirm my readings and can anyone tell me where to get parts for this or what other machines use the same  boards and power supply?
Any help is much appreciated! and Thanks in advance!

UPDATE:
I added 2 images of the power supply.

Fill out your profile better and I can tell you which vendor is closest
to you that will have a power supply.

If you're located overseas, than just about any vendor located on the homepage can help you.
Better yet, place a WTB ad in the "Classifieds" section of NLG and somebody will try and sell you one.

Profile has been UPDATED....I would really like to confirm it needs a power supply....some pin out voltages would help. Any idea where I can get a service manual for this machine?

Sent ya a PM...

2 more picture one of the actual machine with all that functions and the second is of the sound/ light driver board.

A few members have some skill stops.
They are not real slot machines but fun toys to play with from what I've heard.
Hopefully they will see your pictures and maybe they can help you figure out what's wrong with your game.

Nobody knows anything about repairing this machine?

I partially recapped the the combo sound/light driver board and power supply with what caps I had in stock and ordered the rest.
 Apparently these machines do not use a common chassis ground. Which was causing my low voltages readings out of power supply on the j11 8 pin connector at the sound board. Testing between pins on that connector revealed various voltages up to 39v dc. So maybe the power supply is good? I just don't know. Also I do get some popping from the speakers when I work both volume switches.

Maybe the motherboard is bad as it connects to the combo sound board and probably supplys the sound and the signal for the LED matrix?

If someone has one of these machines in full working condition and can test the voltages at connector j11 of the sound board and report them back to me that would help.

Have you tried the pachitalk website? They have a ton of info on pachislo machines there, most of the members in this forum mainly deal with Nevada style gaming machines which are vastly different than a skill stop.

Hopefully someone here can help you but if not, you might find more information here: http://www.pachitalk.com/

I have been to paschitalk and slottechforum.com and posted...I have yet to receive any of the info I am requesting. I cannot believe that this machine is frequently bought and sold on ebay and craigslist yet nobody has ever fixed one? :103-

I don't know about anyone else but I've never worked on one. I have a pachislo and its fun to play but the day that it stops working, it'll either go into the trash or the cabinet will be repuprosed for some other project. But I bought mine for $70 and consider it a fun toy.

Hopefully someone will be able to help though.

check out stealthamusements.com   they are in New York    should be able to help you.

I emailed them earlier this evening and they replied saying to call them....they are in Webster NY about 75-90 min one way from me. I will give them a call in the AM.

Keep hammering on Bunker, he's in your neck of the woods.  :30- :30- :30-

If nothing else, you guys can see how many of them you can stuff in his Subaru... (inside joke)  :200- :97- :97-

I am still in need of a power supply for this machine or someone who can repair mine.

UPDATE: I bought another machine for parts and ended up fixing that one. I have determined my original machine only needs a power box/ supply as pictured earlier in this thread (not the transformer), and the audio board (as pictured earlier) that also controls the Led matrix and the lighting effects, I can also use a pig tail for the door switch as the machine I just received had it cut off so I used it on that one.

I believe the IGT Nitro, IGT Superegg may be the same on the inside with just a rom swap required for sound and lighting personality....I am not positive though.

  Once I have these parts I will have 2 working machines.

 I may part the machine out if anyone needs some parts let me know as all the parts are working EXCEPT the those I listed and the door lock cyl that has been hacked up by someone.

You can also add the IGT Pachislo Machine "SEVEN" to the list of machines that possibly have the parts I am looking for.

You are using a 110vac to 220vac step-up transformer?...Is it outputting the correct voltages?...Also it should be a 5a transformer and not a 3a like most guys are putting in machines..
Jimmy

It is not a transformer problem and I am using a 120v to 24v step down transformer.....all the problem parts have been tested with parts from a known working machine and I am 100% positive I only need the power box/supply and the combo Audio/lighting board to bring it back to life.
