is it cooler because it's the original device? or because it does more?

we can build testers that shit on the old stuff and far more versatile for a wide range of stuff these days.

just a thought.

Bally test rigs are fantastic pieces of equipment. They are designed (are therefore restricted) for the boards of the time period. I bought mine because "I had to have it". It is a piece of history.

I have all the rigs except the Lamp Driver and I believe there is also a sound tester. What is the "upgrade" you speak of Daniel ?
