scheduled to appear in the first screen is
displayed. With the switch "OFF", all 13
"Bad Guys" are presented at the beginning
of each play.
Because of time oonstraints and some lack
of corrrnunication there are a few
discrepancies in the GUN.Sf,()KE Installation
Manual.
First of all, rrany of the wire oolors in
the rranual do not match the actual wire
oolors of the harness. I suggest that you
check the harness against the rranual. The
following changes also apply:

SEXX>ND PIAYER HIGH SCORE INPUTS
PROBLEM: On some of the first boards to be
shipped, the second player High Score
initials can not be input with the first
player controls.
SOLUI'ION: Connect the second player (2P)
control inputs to the first player (lP)
control inputs.
Because the edge oonnector locations are
directly across the board from each other,
it is only necessary to install a small
jumper across the two flow through holes
directly behind each of the control edge
connector traces (ie: lP-UP & 2P-UP,
lP-ro-JN & 2P-ro-JN, etc.) .
