Leland Quarterback
Springstick Action
Erickson and myself have been thinking of
putting together such a list and dividing
each game into arcade and street settings.
This is a huge undertaking and something
that the Industry desperately needs.
There are thousands of techs out there
reading STAR*TECH Journal. If most of you
would pick just one video game and put its
name and your recommended dip switch
settings (street or arcade) on a post card, I
would volunteer to put together such a list
for the Industry (if I get at least 50 cards). I
challenge you to take me up on that offer:

PROBLEM
We have found that under certain line volt-
age conditions, the three (3) amp line fuse in
the upright game is occasionally blowing
because of in-rush current. The steady state
current is one and one half (1.5) to one and
three quarter (1.75) amp.
SOLUTION
~
For both the nineteen ( 19) inch and the
twenty-five (25) inch monitor. You should
replace the fast-blow line fuse with a slow-
blow fuse. Effective immediately, we are
changing the three (3) amp fuse to a three (3)
amp slow-blow fuse in all factory games.

SUBJECT
The Springsticks (Passing and Kicking) on
Leland football games are set to act in the
same manner as an actual throwing arm.
When the quarterback cocks his arm to the
left, his aim is to the right and vice-versa. It
might help to think of the springstick as a
slingshot -pull back left to aim right.
OUR CONCLUSION
Our design staff, after extensive testing of
this action, has concluded that the pull-left/
aim-right configuration is very popular and
extremely well suited to the feel of real foot-
ball.
YOUR CONCLUSIONS
You may like to perform your own test.
Simply switch the violet(+ 12VDC) and green
(Ground) wires on the horizontal pot on the
springstick and readjust this pot to factory
specifications. (See BUI'TONS AND CON-
TROL TESTin the diagnostics section of your
manual.) I am sure that, once you have tried
this test, you will agree with our findings.
NOTE
Be sure to change the wires on the horizontal
pot only.
