Tested my Fortune 1 sounds boards, finally!
« on: April 29, 2017, 05:12:45 pm »
I finally got around to testing the three Fortune 1 sounds boards I bought years back, not knowing if any worked or not.
The board is mounted above the hopper although, from my understanding, there weren't too many made with sound.
I've removed the hopper years ago but I never bothered to see that all the serial numbers on the tags and etched in the machine match!
The board is an easy removal: just 4 nuts and two connectors, and it's out. I put in the first one and it worked!  :applause:
Unfortunately the other two didn't although I did hear hiss from the speaker with one board. The other didn't make any sounds... maybe the audio amp? I did try switching the game chips (from the dead board to the "hiss" board) and whatever the other long IC was, with no results. It was getting late last night but next time I'll swap out the same from the known good board, which I should have done in the first place!

I have fixed about 30 of those boards and the strange thing is most of them had a small 2 uF Tantalum cap that had dried up and gone bad.
You can replace it with a 2.2uF electrolytic.

A couple had bad audio amps and a couple more had bad volume controls.

One had a bad -5V regulator.

Thanks! I'll try that first.
I'd love to get both working.

I hope that you get the sound working.  My first F1 had working sound.  I thought it was annoying.  Once I sold that game and got one that did not have sound I missed it.


I have 4 working F1 games now 3 with sound.  The oldest is the 21 game with the Sony monitor.  Fortune Coin Company.  From the late 70's I believe.

And, seven years later - here's an update video showing my F1 still making sounds! I think I will be parting with it soon - I just don't need 5 video poker games. I had posted a video on another thread but closed that YouTube account.
Here it is, after sitting in my garage for two years, two months - still working fine.

Credit to Mr. Bill Wells, he was the guy at Fortune Coin that designed the sound board and it's sounds.

I've listed my F1 here in classifieds... with a working sound board too.  :yes:

Thats a cool machine.
A lot of credit to those who designed that format. How many machines can you store for over 2 years and they start right up and play great? Pretty amazing.
Thanks for sharing the video, I love those early sound bites.

This machine is incredibly solid and HEAVY as well. I might "accidentally" find a spot for it in my house. Still it's for sale here, but not bites yet.
Now what would make me keep it would be a nice inexpensive LCD for it!
