Blitz Poker back into the land of the living!

This old school table top poker machine came to us with no power whatsoever. After our initial inspection, we discovered that the main switching power supply had failed. Rebuilding the PSU restored the +5VDC and +12VDC rails and the gameboard booted!

We also did some futureproofing to this very cute CRT monitor. It was good thing too because we found lots of cold solder and some electrolytics caps that looked pretty sketchy. Side note… THIS GAME IS RIGGED! or I’m extremely unlucky.

  3. Hello Daniel nice job you did! I’m working on a Golden poker seems to be the same as you Blitz, my issues is about horizontal centering and vertical size! Picture is shift to the left missing part of the first card and at the bottom missing part of the word WIN!. Try vertical size and linear controls did not fix the problem! All capacitors has been replaced. Any ideas or tips to fix this? Thank you!

    • It’ll either be a digital menu or an analog potentiometer to adjust those settings. You’d need to drill down into the schematic if you can’t adjust it into range. Something would be out of spec that isn’t an electrolytic

  5. Hi,
    Love seeing this rebuilt, it was my favorite machine to play before the government took them over, lol. I am currently using Mame and a rom to play this. I am wondering if you would have the instructions on what the dip switches do? I believe there are 4 of them.

    Thank you
