Q*Bert Knocker placement question
« on: June 14, 2014, 10:56:57 am »
I want to add a Q*Bert knocker to my cabinet but I'm not sure where to install it. Does someone knows where it's placed in an original cabinet ? (a picture would be nice  ::))

Pg 40 of the Q*Bert manual here, item 16 indicates the general location of the knocker.

A blog post here has a pic of the knocker.



The blog post here has a pic of it mounted to the back of the coinbox enclosure -- as Le Chuck mentioned above.

Are you using original circuit boards to drive the solenoid, or using a separate circuit?  I'm curious as I have a Qbert with a physical knocker, but no way to drive the solenoid (dont have the original circuit boards).
