EXIDY "MOUSETRAP"
A Regular Monthly Feature Technically Outlining A Newly Released Game
General System Description
For the first time, the entire electronics assembly, including PCBs and
power circuits, slide out through the Electronics Service Door to allow
technicians to work while boards are installed in the game. By releasing a
catch, the entire electronics module may be taken to a bench for trouble-
shooting. Other features in the Electronic Service Door include an
accessible DIP switch, a power interlock switch, and simple I 10 or 220
conversion.
Access to the Coin Box is controlled by a separate key. The Oversize Coin
Box is enclosed in a strong, solid metal box, preventing access through any
other door.
The Coin.Mech Door requires a separate key and has lit coin entry bezels.
The Coin Mech accepts all standard coins and may be adjusted for tokens.
Coin Meters are mounted on a separate bracket for easy reading. Through
this door, latches for the control panel can be released, allowing the control
panel to swing down for service. Additionally, the monitor can be removed
from the front of the game.
Route Operator Features include two large, heavy-duty casters which, on
pivot, support the full weight of the game for one-man ease of transportation.
Two hand holds provide a secure grip. Two skid ·rails permit the game to
slide onto a truck bed and are spaced to line up in truck bed groves providing
stability during transport. A recessed AC cord storage prevents damage to
the cord.

Self Diagnostic Tests
"Mouse Trap" has two diagnostic test modes. The first mode, the
Logic/ Audio Diagnostic Test Mode, checks the RAM and ROM chips on
the Logic Board, and simultaneously checks the Audio Board. This test
mode is the normal self-test mode and is automatically performed when
"Mouse Trap" is first turned on. The second mode tests the Controls and
Color only. To run this test, activate the coin switch while powering up. You
may bypass both diagnostic modes by depressing either player one or player
two start button while powering up.
