Let's face it, we have a lot of pwer supply failures in slot machines. Some power supplies are more-or-less disposible due to their cheap replacement cost but many of the supplies we find in slot machines are custom-built units costing hundreds of dollars. For example, the ability to repair Aristocrat and IGT power supplies (actually manufactured by Setec and Win-Tact respectively) in-house will save your casino hundreds or even thousands of dollars in a year. We will cover the operation and repair of power supplies in detail during this session.
