ok, so i got a working speech chip (it seems to be fine during gameplay) and i have it set to sounds during attract mode, but i'm still not getting the "INSERT COIN" or any other speech during the attract mode.

should i be trying a different main, ROM, or CPU board?
 
That's normal. Push the joystick to activate the voice in attract mode. It will only do it once per screen change.
 
it really was that simple, just in case anyone in the future is searching for this topic.

all three(?) attract mode clips seem to work fine.
 
Seeing this in 2022. Been working to get my joystick to move up. I finally fixed it by replacing the chip on the joystick board. But … then I wasn't hearing "insert coin" when the game turned on.
This thread helped me realize my broken joystick is what was triggering it. The game must have sensed the joystick was being pressed when it was broken.
So happy to find this - it saved me troubleshooting a problem that doesn't exist!
