Re: SB100, '78 Stern Wild Fyre sound



If you're not getting any "hum" from the speaker, then the
connections/wiring from the board to the speaker may not be good- open
circuit somewhere. If it is "humming", then most likely you've got
something else on the board that is to blame- or signal not making it over
from the MPU board- those ribbon cables are notorious for bad connections.
May even have a stuck address or data line or other CPU signal- I had a
Stern Magic once that the VMA line was stuck on the sound board- it would
halt the MPU whenever sound board was plugged in. Replaced a 740x chip and
that cured it.
