New design High Power Board – Addams Family Pinball – Replaces A15139 PN TPP-1030

The TPP-1030 board is redesigned replacement for the original A-15139 High power driver.  Whilst this board is generically known as a high power driver board, it was used only on The Addams Family machines to drive the three playfield magnets.

The original board has been known to fail locking one or more magnets on. This can lead to a burnt / scorched playfield… ouch!

Whilst there is a 5 AMP fuse in-line with the original board, this fuse is across all three magnets and typically does not blow when there is a single failed driver transistor and one of the magnets is permanently activated.

The recommended fix for this situation is to add individual (smaller valued) fuses to the 3 magnet circuits. This can now be done neatly and easily with this redesigned board featuring 3 on-board fuses.

Installation is a snap, fits original mounting holes and original Molex connectors. Replacement should take only a few minutes.

This board ships with 4 nylon mounts, 3 x 2A fuses installed and 2 spare fuses.

INSTALLATION

Warning:  High voltages are present inside the pinball machine. Ensure the power is off and the mains cable is disconnected before you commence work.

  1. Ensure power is off to the machine.
  2. Remove the playfield glass and raise the playfield.
  3. Locate the existing A-15139 board adjacent the left flipper mechanism
  4. Remove two connectors (7-way and 8way)
  5. Remove original board.
  6. Install TPP-1030 board using original screws.
  7. Reconnect two connectors

FUSE REPLACEMENT

The TPP-1030 uses three 5 x 20mm 2A slow blow fuses.  A suitable replacement part is the Littelfuse part no: 0213002.MXP
