This cabinet is no more in my collection
This is a CRASH Italian version made by F.lli Bertolino, probably under license because the board has been marked “FRABER”.
I picked up this cab in Tuscany in the spring of 2011. I love this game!
I hadn’t to make so much things, just cleaning, a monitor recap, remove some burns from the plexi. That’s all.
Here is the PCB.
Inside the cabinet was in good conditions, also here there was not much to do…
This is the cabinet after few days. Completed and working.
Then I moved in my game room. These pictures have been taken today.
Yes. Yesterday the game didn’t start. Black screen and a whistle. This whistle is the same I usually heard the first second after switching on the game, but this time didn’t stop and the game didn’t boot. I checked the EPROM but everything was ok in that side.
I used a working board provided by Alessio; in this way I could see a couple or RAM were faulty. As you can see in the pictures it uses 4027, these are 4096 x 1-BIT Dynamic RAMs
The board started to work again but with one difference: no more “crash” sound. Backtracking the sound circuit I could see the first relevant TTLs were two 74175 in position J3 and K3. Positions are arbitrary; in fact I don’t have any schematics and I drew the board layout on my own.
