Im a bit concerned over those marquee lamps, That's sposed to be a fluorescent not? ... It seems somebody chopped those fixtures in. Those bulbs will create A lot more heat then necessary. |

Thanks for the kind words Tom, --- Quote ---I don't have a manual to interpret everything, but I acknowledge that you have bad boards that prevented you from playing. Are these easy fixes? Are you going to repair them? Also, did you receive an additional card basket? --- End quote --- As far as fixes are concerned, the 0066-117xx chips are socketed so they are easy to replace, the problem is finding them. They were in Bally Astrocades, a few arcade machines Extra Bases Gorf Robby Roto Seawolf II Space Zap Wizard of Wor and some pinball games. Otherwise they were a propriatory Bally chip and no one has reverse engineered them as far as I can see. If I get some time I might trouble shoot a few of the bad boards but for now I am having too much fun playing the game. I do have a spare card holder that looks to be in good shape. As far as the lights are concerned they are supposed to be 25W incandescent bulbs, some frosted and some clear (per the manual). I found some inexpensive 25W standard base LED bulbs from Menards and put those into the game. I share your concern about heat and these run at room temp and look great (some are frosted and some clear). |
