Alltek vs. Rottendog little help
« on: June 02, 2011, 09:31:23 PM »
Hopefully someone can help me with this.

I need a whole set of new boards for a Strikes and Spares resto.
I was just going to get them all from Alltek but there is quite a difference in price with the driver boards from Alltek and Rottendog.
Alltek Ultimate Solenoid Driver Board $149.95
Rottendog BPS022 Bally Voltage Regulator/Driver Board $85.00

Why the big price difference?
Is the Alltek board better quality?
If I bought the Rottendog driver board would it be compatible with the lamp and mpu board from Alltek?

$65 is a big price difference for essentially the same thing.
Can someone tell me what the difference is , if any?

They are both essentially replacement boards using latest technology. The quality would be the same as the boards are redesigned from the original but with new components that are easily replaced. Altek have a "lifetime warranty" which is very good. With the Aussie Dollar being so good, they both represent good value. Just confirm shipping, as this might help you decide.

You can certainly mix and match these boards as they are direct replacements. I have not bought either board, so I can't compare them, but I would suggest they are the same.

Hope that helps.
