I have not, I should ask!

Looking for a wiring diagram for a Fair-Play BB-200 scoreboard. Built probably, late 60's through the 70's. I am trying to convert it to a clock so I can hang it up in my shop and it has a long term purpose. Too cool to just let it sit, not lit up.

My uncle who turned me on to pinball and arcade games 40 years ago, passed about 10 years ago and his children, my cousins, are trying to get some of his machines going again. One of them is a 1976 United/Williams Emerald shuffle alley. I replaced the power cord, got it to go into a full reset...

Time to restart this thread, my Ardac bill changer was working awesome for about 2 years. You could push the tray in and it would drop out 4 quarters, no problem. Then about a month ago, it would click, but dispense nothing. I pulled one of the boards and after giving it a look, I'm wondering...

Why did Atari even bother with the other scores, but not allow you to fill them in?

I have a nice original Tempest, but I can only input the top 4 high scores on the game. The top 4 are the only scores that can be changed and 5-10 stay '10101'. Below the last scores is also something that says 'Top 1-99 scores'. How do you set this up to input more than 4 scores?

Understood

Ok, ordered the 2N3055, there were cracked pins on the deflector board. I will run through the 24 hour cycle over the next few days. I was also going to recap things one board at a time.

OK, did a step by step on the machine. CPU board tested in spec, all bottle cap transistors tested in good, reflowed all pinheads (lots of cracks) and reseated all the chips. Found resistor R100 burned up on the monitor board. Had a 1/2w 15ohm resistor laying around, soldered it in and the...

Got it. I will begin the process tomorrow of trouble shooting. Thank you for the help, I will report back with progress.

Ok, bought a decent working Tempest, brought it home, played fine for a day. Powered it up today, just has a dot in the middle. Looks like the dot has colors, not just white. If you hit player one, a game will start and you can hear gameplay. I would like to get this machine up and running...

Found someone who was able to burn the chip, version 3.2, works awesome. Like a new machine now!

Is there an image of the V3.0 available publicly? I need one to get a 6300 up and running again.

I am looking for an upgrade version for my Arachnid 6300. The current chip I have is: '01-0120 6300 V2.2 10/20/89' The chip I need is: '01-0188 6300T V3.0' Does anyone have the image of the V3.0? or the chip itself?

On it!
