An underrated title. I used to own one of these years ago. Backlgass was shot, but it had contact protecting the playfield. I sold it maybe 7 years ago, and it has never had a problem. A fun game, but as with all games from this era that are neglected, they need work. Glad to see you working on it Mitch !

Where did you score the lamp tested from ? I've been on the hunt for one for a while !

Thanks Nino, do you mean the test rig im using to test the lamp driver board in the previous posts? i built that myself. It also tests Bally/Stern 6 digit displays (im about to modify it to do 7 digit ones as well) Gtb system1 driver boards and displays (it even has a gtb display rejuvenator function for the dim fluorescent displays!) as well as power supply outputs of regulated +5volts and + and -12volt outputs for bench testing other boards, like Bally/Stern MPUs and Gtb sys1 MPU boards etc.

It has been a work in progress for a few years now, i've been adding onto it on and off for those few years, as a result it aint pretty inside  :lol :lol
And in case anyone asks yes i do have schematic diagrams for the individual test circuits somewhere. I remember sending Daniel (ddstoys) some schematics a couple of years back
