    What happened to ionpool website?

    A friend on another forum informed me the ionpool.net website has vanished. I visited the website myself and sure enough it's gone. The wayback machine shows it was still operating on December 29th. It's a pity because it had such valuable technical information used to repair games.

    I just saw a story at Replay Magazine that Playmeter Magazine has closed down after 44 years. http://www.replaymag.com/play-meter-shuts-down/ And don't forget Star Tech Journal is also now gone too. This leaves just Replay Magazine and Vending Times covering the amusement industry.

    DIY digital oscilloscope kits

    I see on ebay several of the DSO068 build-it-yourself digital oscilloscope/frequency counter kits. Seems like a good little unit for working on classic video arcade games and solid state pinball machines. The price is very reasonable and the kit comes with assembly instructions...

    B&K 490 Rejuvenator technical information

    A friend just bought an almost brand-spanking new B & K 490 rejuvenator. I've decided to document it since there is little information out there about it. First of all there are TWO distinct 490 models: the first one has analog meters and the last version is CPU controlled and has a completely...

    ICT model A6 bill acceptor hook up

    First we need to start off with the exact model number from the label on the bill acceptor. That tells us the original application, operating voltage, and interface style the bill acceptor was designed for. Pictures of the bill acceptor and it's wiring harness do help. General instruction...

It uses a laserdisk player for the girls (and guys) that strip on screen during the game. I don't know of anyone selling a capkit...

    Capacitors NOT included in Zanen kits

    I thought I'd start this thread listing capacitors that are NOT included in Zanen Electronics cap kits. Since many capkit lists were made years ago, there are additional capacitors failing now due to old age that were not originally listed in those listings & kits. First up: Zanen kit # 801...
