TECH: Spy Hunter LIVES! But it's HUMMING along, Please HELP!!!
Vic Laurel
I've had a Spy Hunter 'Project', it's about 5 maybe 6 years old now.
I've got the monitor board repaired.
I've got the Game Boards Working.
I've installed a TomWiz MCR Kit, and it's installed.
I've cleaned up and tested the Power Brick, and it looks good.
I've powered it up today, and YAY! It works!
Before, the Tom Wiz Kit, it had this
'18-wheeler-loud-earth-shattering-mind-numming' hum blare out whenever you
plugged it in.
After the Tom Wiz Kit, it has a much quieter hum, but still sounds like
you've put your ear up to the motor on a Celing fan (or maybe your ear up to
a quiet hair dryer).
I've tried Jumpering the wire on 'JW4' like Tom's guide suggests for spy
hunters, but it didn't help.
I am getting 13.8 VAC on the Audio supply off the main power block.
Also, I've noticed everytime I take it out of Self-Test (Via the Self-Test
Switch) the machine locks up and displays white 'Ks with Which Blocks next
to them in a checkerboard alternating pattern'. The Spy Hunter still saves
it's settings.
The Audio 'HUM' is there, regardless of the volume.
My question is where to look? Cheap Squeak? Or the Dual Amp? Or both.
Should I shotgun? Or does anyone know any key specifics to replace!
Thanks in advance!
Vic...
