I saw the pics. They look similar may be the same. I have not had a chance to compare them. I think they are the same. I would love to find another set .

From my understanding of what is on the other thread there is only one power rail on this machine?  12V?  That is unusual unless it uses all CMOS logic.  I also seen that it was built somewhere around 1990.  Looks a little older than that to me, but that is just me LOL.  You could try looking at the connections to the boards at the backplane and make sure all that is clean and no corrosion.  Then from there I  would attack the wiring just like the OP did on the other thread and see if you can get a game to start considering his machine had the same issue in the beginning.

Adm927:
Update! I have it working. No sound but it starts a game and scores correctly. Counts balls and ends a game. I need a chip for the sound. Mine is toast. The picture of the boards from the other thread has dip switches on it for multiple sound options. Mine has a chip it only makes one sound. Unfortunately the numbers on the chip are almost gone and I can’t make it out. Posted it online hope someone can help.

Hydrolisk1792:
That is great that you got it working now.  What was the issues with it not starting the game?  You can try soldering pins on to the chip just to see if that would work for the sound, I doubt it would but it is worth a shot.

Adm927:
Just for grins I removed all the chips and cleaned all the legs and reinstalled. Bingo!!
