Just a little fun. Let's see if anyone recognizes this really obscure redemption hardware board. I know what it is -- I pulled it out of the cabinet it came from today while trying (and failing) to set up our new card system in it.

I'll tell you this right now
  • It's not on System16. I looked. This company isn't even listed.
  • None of the connectors are JAMMA or anything standard. It's all proprietary.

I smudged out the game name on the EEPROMs to make it somewhat of a challenge. First pic, disconnected and sitting on an unrelated cabinet (Deep Freeze):

Another, properly mounted and connected in its intended dedicab. This one came out clearer for some reason:

Drat! So soon! Did I not do a good enough blur job or do you have experience with these machines?

By the by, you wouldn't happen to have proper cabinet schematics, would you? I'm getting weird readings all over the cabinet and wondering if there's something wrong with the game or if Seidel stuff is just that exotic.

-E- Wow, our cabinet definitely doesn't look that good... Once this card thing is sorted I should give it some TLC.

I just did a search on the "Seidel Amusement Machine Co" that was seen in the left corner of the board. Could tell from the blur that it was two words and the first started with "S". After that, it was easy.

As for a manual, well that turned out to be easy, too...

Holy crap, I didn't expect them to have the old Seidel manuals. I know this game has been on about 10 different hardwares over the years depending on what Seidel/Bay-Tek just happen to be using at the time the cabinet was manufactured.

That's going to help me a lot tomorrow when I try to figure out why the new card controller is spazzing out. Thank you!
 
That is not what is in my Smokin Token. Mine is a semi universal one that has a bunch of phone/network type of plugs. Mine is probably a lot newer though.
