Yep, those are flybacks... ;)

Sorry, couldn't resist. Good luck with iding them.

classic.

the one on the right is the only that remotely looks like anything I've seen in arcades. The others look like crap I've yanked out of TV's.
 
The ones on the left are from some B&W monitor... Middle is a voltage doubler or tripler... right is a flyback... looks like some old 4600.

Ping Chad (arcadecup)... he'll probably be the best person to ID them.
 
The first picture looks like some black & white vector high voltage units. Is there a number stamped on them (maybe the bottom of that bakelite). The bakelite mounting plate is throwing me off. On the vectors, that's triangular....where as, yours are rectangular.

I have no idea on the voltage doublers. I have a handful of those also....I got from a distributor buy-out. If you figure it out, let me know.

Picture three looks like a WG6100 high voltage unit...color vector.

Mike, We must raid the same distributors. I've got two of those same high voltage units. I'm betting they go with those voltage doublers. I just checked mine.....my voltage doublers start with part #161, just like the flybacks. So, figure out what manufacturer used 161 as an identifier for their parts....and the puzzle might get solved. I checked all the biggie companies: Wells-Gardner, Motorola, TEC, Electrohome...and came up empty.

Edward,

Interesting... the writing on my voltage doubler shows:

VARO
MH1020D01
161 317
7816 C

If they are XY and not for WG or Electrohomes, perhaps they are used in oscilloscopes?

Yup, same as mine...except the last four on mine are 7815. Varo is the actual manufacturer. I'm not sure on the second line...maybe the actual Varo part number. Third, i"m assuming, the monitor manufacturers part number. Fourth line is the date code....sixteenth week of 1978.


It's possible these could go to some of the early 70's black & white games....before Wells-Gardner, Motorola, etc. jumped into the business and become industry standards.

the doublers and stuff wouldnt be from a vectorbeam would they? I seem to remember they made two different versions of the vectorbeam....one with the gold box, and one with the discrete high voltage unit...been a wile since I looked at a vectorbeam so just a guess..

GUYS I believe I have an answer. Those are original MIDWAY manufacturing parts. I have a 1976 sea wolf with all those part numbers. All the orignal MIDWAY boards in my machine start with those part numbers 161-XXXXX XX. Some are 160-XXXXX. They also may have gone into Gunfight another from 1975-6. The boards are solder etched with part #s. The B&W monitor is a sylvania KVT series.

Glad to hear there are still parts around. I may need some.
 
Yeah, there is a number stamped on the bottom - it is 161-302 100603T. The base on this one is rectangular.
I need one of those! They were manufactured by Midway Gaming '75-'76. Midway either made or put their own parts numbers on someone else's design. I believe they were made by Sylvania. TV parts.
 
Edward, my doubler starts with 161-317 from my '76 Sea Wolf. I need one of them there doublers. Send me a PM. Thanks
