    Good Morning All,

    Does anyone happen to have a Bally Kiss Transformer/Rectifier board in working condition?

    Thanks!

    Hi Sean,

    I sell the Pinhead rectifier board on Flippers.com that covers all the
    early Bally/Stern games including KISS. Other folks sell other rectifier boards too of course. I particularly like the Pinhead version from the technician's point of view for ease of installation and clear LED
    readouts showing voltages present, and the general overall quality of
    the product.

    If you don't mind assembling the board yourself, here is a quality deal.
    There are not many components, so if you can solder and make sure the
    diodes are in the right direction, it is easy.

    Not a bad looking kit, seems well thought out. No indicator LEDs though.

    One point I raise with all the aftermarket rectifier boards is the need
    for some sort of electrical protection shield to help protect the operator/technician from accidental shocks. The Pinhead board does
    include a standoff plastic shield to help avoid the risk of shock, one
    of the reasons I carry it.

    The original Bally had a slip on plastic safety cover that was very
    nice, and was usually missing in short order as technicians tossed them
    away. I never liked that practice and teach my staff to keep safety
    covers on or replace after working on games.

    I wonder if there is a market for those, it would be interesting to
    remake...
