Willia111s Black Night 2000 Plexi Fix
Eric Wittenzellner
Kemp Enterprises, Inc.
South Windsor, Connecticut
PROBLEM
Cut Plexi With Ends Bent Upwards
U-tum ball contact with underside of upper
playfield.
SYMPTOM
Action in this game is high, and this causes the
ball to jump up to the underside of the playfield,
in turn hitting the solder connections on the "A"
and the "R" on the spell "WAR" rollovers on the
upper playfield.
SOLUTION
We have cut plexi to guard against this problem.
Mount to lower playfield (See Illustrations).

dard plexi will shatter
• Mount long plexi to lower
playfield over Ball tunnel
• Mount curved plexi to
lower playfield over
U-Tum tunnel
• Shape a slight bend
(1/ 4" - 1/2") in the en-
trance ends of the plexis

Disco Monitor Sync Lock
Evan Wessel
Mercury Amusement
Haverford, Pennsylvania
PROBLEM
with the sync wire going to the monitor. I'm not
sure why this monitor was overloaded by my
conversion board, but it may be a problem in
future conversions that use this brand monitor.
The sync lock is poor. Everytime the scene
changes, the monitor loses sync.
SOLUTION
I have discovered a cure for the poor sync lock on
my converted Atari I-Robot with a "Disco" brand
monitor (named in the 70's?).
NOTE
My conversion board worked fine on a Wells
Gardner monitor, by the way. Keep this tip in
mind if any of you encounter a problem like this
in the future.
PROCEDURE
I was able to get normal lock by adding a lK
resistor in the sync line. Just splice it in series
