Data East PPB Board

I have been after a Simpsons Data East pinball machine for years and when one came up locally I couldn't resist. Although it was bought as working it still needs quite a bit of work, mostly cosmetic but also some board repairs, replacing connectors etc. Anyway lets get started, while changing all the fuses to the correct values I noticed a bad fuse holder on the PPB board.

CPC sell a replacement the part # is FF02911, it is pretty much identical to the ones Data East used.



For some reason Q4 has been removed, maybe to replace Q5 and they didn't have a spare TIP36? R16 was burnt so was replaced with a new 200ohm 1/4 resistor. I have ordered a TIP36 along with some molex parts more to come soon.
