Looking for Betson Big Choice Service Manual / Dipswitch settings
I am an arcade crane hobbyist (junkie) and I recently bought 2 Betson Big Choice arcade crane machines circa. 1987 for $50 each (plus shipping) from a distrubutor's used "as-is" lot. The logic boards are Betson Big Choice CTL-1 Rev. C and D.
I have successfully built one working machine using the parts from both, but there are still some small things that are not working (marquee lights, dollar mech).
My cluelessness re: dip switch settings is limiting my ability to tweak the claw strength, $ per play, time limits, etc. I am slowly experimenting, but two banks of 8 switches = too many combinations to sort out entirely by trial and error.
I am also getting occasional random and rotating switch failures that I suspect are actually problems with wiring, power, or the logic board, so schematics/wiring diagrams would also be appreciated.
Does anyone have any Betson Big Choice dip switch settings, service manuals, or schematics that may help me restore these cranes?
