This roonth I have a cure for those IXXJBLE

for this solution.

and switch with the bracket, then connect
the two wires to the C and Won the
switch and that's it. Be sure to watch for
increased gane earnings.
It's very sinple and easy to install, but
there is a drawback and that is the cost.
The new switch bracket required for each
button cost us $4.00, and with six to a
gane that could get expensive.
I was lucky that I had some old Nintendo
control panels around that had everything
I needed.
Here is a list of parts needed for each
button:

1. A Nintendo switch button bracket
part #TKGU-23-12

PRINTER RIBBONS
2. A 1-13/16" button with pal nut

3. A micro switch
4. TWo small screws to roount switch

sure to COJii)cl.re prices on these items
especially if you need any quantity
because I found that the switch available
from:

Be
PENN-RAY (#07-1379) was $3.00 where the
sane switch from WIOO (#23-1105-00) was
$2.48.
The button from:
WICO was .70 while from PENN-RAY it was
.35, neither included the pal nut.
.
Anyway, when you obtain these parts sirrply
replace those "throw away" buttons and
throw away this problem with the old
buttons!

Leland QUARTERBACK
Program Revisions
By
Dennis Sable
The Leland Corporation
El Cajon, California
The initial production run of OOAR'I'ERBl\CK
brought to light a few previously
unnoticed problems. These included:
* A one-player gane that was too easy.
* Loss of GaJne Set-Up and Player
Statistics due to improper exit from the
Diagnostics program.
* Possible
OOTE: The latest program revision includes
a few cosmetic audio and video
enhancements which will contribute to the
overall appeal of the gane.
'lYPE
bookkeeping errors.
Because of the quick action of operators
and their distributors in notifying us of
these symptoms, the problems were
irmnediately corrected and very few of the
faulty programs were released.
