Ok, I have what I think are 2 Fortune 1 machines (Silver Jubilee). I seem to have 1 good monitor and 3 bad motherboards. I have the diagrams for the Fortune  1 but seems to be a bit different than the diagrams. the boards are of the 000250version F, Model 611, Feb 1982.
The First board has a very iratic horizontal sync but good vertical. Can see symbols (cherrys/lemons/etc) within the screen but horiz sync is messy.
The second board has vertical red stripes on the background and the cards are always scrolling cherrys.
The third board is just parts without eproms or memory.

I have swapped all removable chips and jumpers and problems stay on boards.
One resistor seems dark on all 3 boards but check ok.(think its power circuits).
Monitor is ok since board 2 shows good picture (just wrong graphics)


Any ideas on what to check?
Is this really a Fortune 1?
Where can I get a schematic of the power supply portion of the motherboard?
What voltages should it have?

Pictures would really help aid identifcation of your machine.  The more, the better, both of the outside and inside of the machine.  You can attach up to two pictures per post, but feel free to make multiple replies so that you can add as many pictures as you want.

That is a Fort 1--- same as a Draw Poker.

A friend of mine looked at this thread and agrees that it's a Fortune 1, and in the picture provided there is a battery missing in the battery holder (upper left corner of the picture).  I do not know what type or voltage battery goes there, however.

That battery was to hold memory in case a casino lost power. I have seen several bds where the batt. leaked, It works fine with no batt.

Ok, seems the three boards I have dont work. Does anyone know where I can purchase a good one or have them repaired?
