I decided to play a few games on my fatthom late at night and turned the volume right down . Since then , no more sound . When i turn the rheostat up and down , i get a humming sound true the speaker . Does this eliminate the rheostat as the problem ? I don ' t think i have an extra one on hand anyway . Any suggestion what to look for ?

Thanks ...

Claude

Il semble bien que le pot de volume soit ''bloquer'' d'une facon ou d'une autre. Il s'est peut-être brisé a l'intérieur. Avec la rouille et la corrosion c'est une pièce qui fait soubent défault.

Chances are that the rheostat and speaker are fine, providing the hum level
changes when you turn the volume control.

Issue is often with the squawk & talk board - could be bad electrolytic caps,
or a bad amp chip. Or, often a cold solder joint at the header pins on that board.

Bonne chance!

1986 Williams Grand Lizard, 1991 Williams Bride of Pinbot, and a few others.
Cash or some trades available. Could also repair a machine of yours +/-$ if needed, in exchange for
one machine on my want list, non-working/unshopped welcome!

Juste pour aidé a éclaicrir ce prob je mettrais le sound board de Fathom dans Centaur pour voir si il fonctionne vraiment.
Si oui on sais alors que c'est extérieur au sound board. Peut-être un connecteur, les soudures sur le pot de volume, le speaker débranché etc ....
