space invaders pinball questions,..
THE POKER BRAT:
ok,..heres another question,...lets say your mpu battery goes bad on your original board,..and so you cut the thing off not to further corrode anything else,..so now you look for a replacement battery/ or/ a extention battery box from radio shack and go that route,..i found this battery on ebay,..and the seller says it works on (most) bally machines....hhmmm..thinking about getting that,.but,...the original battery has no volt info or ohm's on it ...nor in the manual either,...so whats a safe way to install battery/ies so i dont blow up a mpu?...heres a picture of the battery from ebay

Cool pinball...but there's just something about a pinball game about a video game that seems just wrong to me. :laugh:
Is it just me, or does that garage in the lock video looks very similar to FrizzleFried's Asshat Arcade?
THE POKER BRAT:
i just used thst video lock picking as an example to help me out on something,..turns out i didnt need it,..but its there for anyone who does,...ok,..back to the battery issue at hand,..does anyone know if that battery is compatible with my space invaders...or for bally pins?

UPDATE:..Im doing a full resto on the machine,..i bought a new playfield overlay,..new plastics, I bought brand new "ALLTEK" selonoid & mpu boards,..fires up ,
..but i think the game is stuck in a test mode of some sort,..it goes through the 7 flashing lights on the mpu,.
the heartbeat on the selonoid looks good,.the voltages/leds are on,.
and i hear the sounds ( like if it was gonna start). but ive noticed a few things wrong,..maybe some expert pinheads can help out,..
1) first thing i do is turn the game on,..the opening game sound starts,..so far so good,.
2) then i press the self test switch one time,..and only two lights on the playfield flash on & off
all the bumper lights and the top 4 lanes stay lit as well. some bulbs need replacing..(need LEDs)
3 out of five score displays light up like this--> (8 88) another one has this,.--> ( 89)
3) then the FUN part kicks in,..i go by the manual and press the self test some more for selonoids, score display doesnt work right,.end game sounds, etc,..then i push the start button on the coin door, and it starts to chime in like a crazy parade,..ALL the sounds start repeating over and over, even after i push the self test button,.
I cant seem to stop the machine from going bonkers,..for example,..when i push a lane wire down,..the left bumper starts knocking,.when i hit a target, something else happens somewhere else on the playfield,..crazy eh?"
I "think" but im not sure 100% that the wires are crossed somewhere, and the lamp driver & aux driver is shot and needs to be replaced.
4) the backbox rotating lights & and the lights behind the alien backglass
are not tuning on,..
as you can see guys,...its almost there but not quite,.
OH yeah,..one more thing,..
4) i was leaning on the machine and felt some mild static along the metal side rails,..i think there is a ground loose somewhere . but i cant find anything present,..
I have the manuals for the mpu, selonoid, & space inv ..but the troubleshooting parts doesnt tell me about the locked sounds going on at once, and the stuck in test mode..HHHHEEELLLPPPPP!
any helpful hints or suggestions are appreciated,..
THE POKER BRAT:
any help?...im so stuck..
