That's how I feel about everything I know about pinballs! ;D
I know Gottlieb Sys. I inside and out, and now I know Data East pretty darn well. Both were by necessity than choice. Whodunnit is WPC-S, and I have no desire to learn that hardware. I just want it to work. I go "duh...." when I look in the backbox of that one. I've dug far enough into that system to figure out why someone wrote in a 5A fuse over the factory 3A fuse that blew. That's as much as I want to learn. I just want to play some frikkin pinball...
ChadTower:
Heh. I think I need to step back from Black Knight for the same reason. Thought I had it working well until I playtested and found out the sound still doesn't work right.
I have the parts now to go back in and fail on either the Asteroids Deluxe or the Berzerk monitors, though.

I just got an email from the guy claiming to have modded a rev 2 board to rev 3 capabilites. Here is a pic of the hack:
Of course I was apprehensive after the last disaster, so I did a search for him in google groups. He is BOB DWOJEWSKI - he is the guy doing the Earthshaker repro plastics and playfield for Classicplayfields.com . I think I am pretty safe this time.
ChadTower:
Meh, I say just wait on a better deal for a working board.

I'll be taking my rev 3 board over to a local during lunch to look at the board and bench test. He's in robotics and PIC programming, and is looking to get into the arcade hobby. In the meantime, I'm going to install the Rev 2 board in the machine. I need to prove it is tested working 100% anyways so I can sell it. I might still get the mod done to it though. Haven't decided.
