Sorry if this was already posted by me. New to this type of forum. Congratulations on your machine it looks great. I have an original 13 foot manual machine which was converted to electronic back in the 80's. My machine is playable but needs some electronic work. The Amusement Park (Knoebel |

I'm still working on my circuits, but if you want something that just drops in there is a guy on e-bay who sells some type of control system for $100. I don't know anything about it other than it is there and according to him they designed these for Chuck-E-Cheese. My circuits are still under construction and will likely be PC driven so that I can customize the sounds. Keep in mine that from all we know, a full blown DIY skeeball hasn't been done before, so this is kinda a trial and error project. My ball release is powered by bungee cord, BTW to provide the back tension. It doesn' have alot, as I didn't want too much pull on the lever, but enough to keep the balls from rolling down. Do a search for Skeeball or read through all the posts here as there is a locked thread where alot of these things are discussed. The skeeball circuit is nothing more than a counter. If you wanted to wing it, look for 7-segment LCD counters. Use a darlington IC to switch the 14v coming from your lamps to power the score/ball counts. I'm pretty much going to do that with mine in the end and write a custom program to handle running the sound effects/display. That is of course vapor ware at this point. RandyT has a beta program he has written, but it won't work for what you are looking for. Brad |

Either you got some of my pictures that I posted from my machine or somebody has the same electronics as mine. The display board and main boards are the same as the ones in mine. Do you by any chance remember where you got the jpegs? I was wondering if somebody else has the same boards if they were able to get replacement components, thanks John. |
