Hey brtlkat...

would you be able to share with me where you found it? 

I've had no luck for quite some time now.

Thank you!

I found this one,  but the JVL retro schematic is a tad blurry.

Do they happen to have a service manual?

I’m sure they do, but i have not found one.   I read online that you have to request one from JVL…. 
Is JVL still a company?   I don’t know….    I had a hard time finding anything else about the JVL retro…

Yea, I've had the same problem. 

I have to laugh because I believe this is their only webpage.  I've never had any luck getting help from them though.  mahkeymike on here helped me out in the past.

Their page is  http://www.jvl.ca/    they only have slot type games now. Only 1 mention about the Echo on it.  They removed the iTouch games off of there about 3 years ago.

Merit could have made a killing now since slot games/game of chance are legal now in PA bars.

That's crazy...I guess that market died out?  Then again I think they were way over priced to begin with.

Thank you for the links Spank!

I think they were way over priced to begin with.

they are priced to reflect the fact you can make money with them. arcade machines have 500 buck of parts in them yet priced at 15k.

this is why cheaper "home" versions of things exist.

JVL dropped their lineup and switched over 100% to making gambling machines.
