I've used slip plate before, got the chance to learn all about it after I washed the aquadag off the first monitor I ever cleaned years back. Learned the lesson, slip plate fixed it perfectly, it's all you need.

Thanks! It came with the full manual with schematics and I checked, I have all those pages including the random extra inserts, thanks for looking out! I swapped the socketed chips back into my backup board and plugged it into the machine. I'm thinking that this board "#480" is indeed the better...

I read through that page while I was still deciding if I needed to pick this thing up, great history. I just wish I could locate a decent video of an operational Tenpin so I could at least get a clue of how it's supposed to behave, but still found nothing so far. I'm disappointed with the...

Cleaned up both PCBs and the header pins, straightened up a lot of bent transistor legs and retested the PCB that came installed with the game when I got it. The game acted slightly different and after turning on and off a few times I actually watched the guy roll the ball and saw it roll down...

Nice! I love how the regular full size game PCBs are just treated like daughter cards for the main light board, it dwarfs them.

https://www.wallgames.com/tenpin.htm This site above looks like the only online resource for this game genre and it looks like no one has really preserved any info on Tenpin in particular. They only wrote like 3 or 4 sentences about it with one stock photo ~20 years ago and that pretty much...

Thanks, it's weird to me that it's so obscure. And when I look up the Gremlin games, it seems like the other titles pop up in results or videos, but not so much this one.

Picked this up. Came with one remote, an extra set of PCBs and the manual/schematics. Doesn't play yet, haven't looked at anything yet. Sound is out, power switch toggle broken but it powers on as soon as you plug it in, controller in unknown state, I heard it didn't work. Game turns on but I...

Sure looks like it

I found a complete basket case Whirly Bird project with a nice repro cabinet that needs paint and stencils. The previous cabinet was taken out by termites and had to be recreated but everything else is there and original, he did a good job remaking the cab. How much does the repro cab hurt the...

Had a discovery zone in my town growing up, and I completely forgot about it until now, hey thanks for the unlocked memories. Probably closed down 25-30 years ago.

I found a sealed 1982 mcdonalds happy meal toy in my Gorf, it was a Playmobil native american figure, the bag was completely covered in dust, wiped it off and sold it on eBay for cap kit money. No clue how that one got in there.

Thanks for the info Mike, I'm willing to seek out a working dual board to drop in and try out. I'll message you about your boards whenever I manage to get the extra cash up, if I don't end up getting some cheap basket case board on eBay first. Never bought a working board before, that sure would...

No shit, I honestly miss my zaxxon cocktail, first machine ever, taught me a ton, I want it back.

But do you think it would also take a yoke swap to get the proper dual board running?? That's the main concern I have moving forward, I'd be happy to just get a working board dropped in but not yet sure what to expect on yoke compatibility.

Look I just want to play cruis'n world or I'm going to snap, I really don't ask for much. Well then what should I consider doing with my standard only "dual res" monitor? What game would you build with it? It's good for Simpsons or TMNT right? I haven't played a good round of Simpsons since...

Where are you in FL?

Yep it does seem like there used to be a header there, didn't look very closely before. Why'd they do it?

P 738-F. That''s why I'm confused, it really threw me off, it should be a u5000 but maybe the F means something more? Got duped on this one, I thought it would automatically be dual res based on the chassis number, has anyone else seen this type? It has a plug on the 15khz header but empty...

I got confused as usual and ended up buying the wrong monitor for my Cruis'n World, got a U5000- thought it was going to be a good replacement, but I realize now that it's a standard res only version and doesn't have the setup to switch between standard and medium like I assumed when I picked it...
