This is a long shot, but I'm assembling a Pioneer Balloon and wanted to see if anyone had a copy of the manual and/or schematics? Scan or physical or link are all welcome.

Trying to get some information about the power supply and the harness, specifically. I'm assuming both are very similar to the other SNK games (Nibbler/Fantasy) since they share a pinout, but not 100% certain

Thanks!
 
i don't think a manual/schematics ever existed for this game. i've seen 0% proof online otherwise.

only a flyer...

As far as I remember, yes. Nibbler, Fantasy and Pioneer Balloon definitely share the same power supply and harness (tho Nibbler's doesn't have wires for a fire button). Eyes has a unique harness though it uses the same power supply. Warp Warp is the odd Rockola Game as it Uses a totally different power supply though it looks the same from the outside. It doesn't have the switcher present inside and the voltages are AC voltages coming off the transformer (like Pacman).
 
Thank you very much. That's exactly what I needed.

My cabinet was a Warp Warp (missing the power supply), but it does still have the coin door + coin counter PCB. Do the coin counter PCBs vary as far as you recall?

That I don't know. I always thought those coin counter PCBs were weird. I don't think I ever retained one in my games.
