SUBJOCT: Condor Switching Power Supply
Two versions of the Condor Power Supply
were used during the RAMPAGE production
run. Although either supply will work in
your game, the information listed below
will help you to understand the difference
between them and insure that they are
properly connected to your game.
Failure to properly connect your
respective power supply can result in game
damage.
TICKET DISPENSER INSTALIATION:
If you are installing a ticket dispenser
on a dedicated IOAD RUNNER game, you need
to exchange your audio PCB Atari part
#A043354-0l for an A043661-special.
The syrrptoms will be blanking out at the
screen when a ticket is dispenced.
For technical assistance, call Atari

Williams Ball Eject Plunger
By Todd Erickson
Swrmit Amusemant
St. Paul, Minnesota
PROBLEM: A few of the pinball games
manufactured by Williams Electronics from
FIREPCMER to late HIGHSPEED with the three
ball mechanisms, may have trouble ejecting
the ball to the shooter lane.
CAUSE: The problem is caused by not enough
lift to the ball on the thicker
playfields.
SOLUTION: Grinding the plunger to 2-1/8
inches will cure the problem.
