Wanted Any info on a Nordamatic Antares pinball machine

[ddstoys]

  .  It's a long shot but worth asking. 

      I offered to take a look at this machine for a guy I gave him a very low success rate like it will never go so he didn't get his hopes up.

   Very unusual one of a kind setup.

never heard of it - EM or SS?

[pinnies4me]

Hmmm, interesting backglass - kinda David Bowie with boobs!

That is going to be hard to find information on, I imagine.

I guess if the boards are all there it won't be impossible to work out what is going on, though.

Now that's a strange machine if ever I saw it

The display looks like a Gottlieb sys 80 ???

It does - and their earlier EM's seem to have copied Gottliebs - so what's the chances they copied the Gottlieb System 1 board set I wonder? As they only made one SS game, that would explain it given the problems with that system back then.

Absolutely nothing like a system 1 board I'll post some photos once I start work on it.    In desperate need of a schematic etc before I even bother I've checked all the usual suspects dry joints connectors etc with no joy

Have you tried on RGPArchive.com Daniel?  I'd be surprised if nobody on there could help.

[ddstoys]

No Marty never even been there but I'll check it out

Found an Italian site that seems somewhat active, so posted this for you Dan -

Ciao dall'Australia. Vi prego di scusare il mio italiano, non è troppo buono.

Qualcuno può aiutarmi con informazioni o schemi per Nordamatic Antares?

grazie
Nick

I'll let you know what they come up with!

[ddstoys]

Thanks Nick
                 Much appreciated

[Retropin]

Wouldnt mind seeing some pics of the boards.... hopefully it will all be TTL and not too difficult to determine what does what.
If its CMOS like a ZAC.. id say your stuffed without a schematic

Very good translation Nick ! A bit more Nothern Italian (I think).

Between me, google translator and my beautiful Sicilian wife, that was the best we could come up with!!
