The Turbo Outrun Kit instructions (for the of
conversion Outrun) do not mention the fact
that you must first take out the existing
program memory IC's from both the CPU
and Video PCB's. Note the direction of the
polarity notch and insert the new chips in
the same direction.
SUBJECT
Start the conversion by removing all sock-
eted IC's marked:
EPR-xxxxx
OPR-xxxxx
MPR-xxxxx
One less flourescent tube to stock ..
LOW TECH MOD
On old Williams cabinet conversions, (i.e.
Joust, Robotron,etc.), move the lamp brack-
ets apart a couple of inches. You'll probably
have to splice a jumper between the right
bracket and the ballast. But, Voila!, you can
now use a plain vanilla Fl5T8 lamp in the
marquee and do away with stocking that
weird size 13" thing.
r-
NOTE
Install the new IC's in locations shown in
conversion instructions.
Williams uses the 13" tube in their shuffle
alleys and in 1981 decided to make it their
standard for video games as well.

PROBLEM
SYMPTOM
What's the secret to keeping the gears from
getting stripped in the gun on Op Woif?
Several calls from the location stating that
the record was playing slow and sometimes
would even stop playing the record. Then it
would start up playing where it stopped.
SOLUTION
I've had limited success with drilling out
some of the metal in the end of the weight. It
lessens the kick of the gun somewhat, but it
also takes some of the stress off the gears.
The only sure fire way is to cut the power wire
going to the damn thing.
CURE
r---
Clean or replace the service switch located
on the inside left wall of the jukebox. I have
seen several of these switches destroyed by
oxidization and cigarette smoke.
