Gottlieb Cleaopatra System 1
Hi,
I accidentally and stupidly unplugged the System 1 MPU whilst the power was still on and the machine was left like that for quite a while. Obviously, when I returned to the machine later on, the pinball was smoking bad from inside the cabinet. It appears to me that the line filter was burning or is burnt, however, I have read online that it is more likely that I have probably destoyed the Power Supply board and the smaller on board transformer (which is what should have burnt very hot like a fuse). It appears to me that the power supply board looks ok and the small on board transformer looks ok, but the Line Filter looks like the device which burnt like a fuse!!!!
Any help as to what would have been permanently damaged or what to repair would be helpful?
Does anyone know if the on board transformers will be ok? And if the line filter will be ok? Or are they likely to be damaged too?
Any helpful advice on what is likely damged or what I need to repair would be very helpful?
Thanks
