Chalfont, PA 18914 (215) 997-8616, who has a
majority of the ticket dispensers out there, now
has an upgrade to make the dispensers very easy
to unjam. This is good news to the techs and
maintenance folks who have had to take the
things apart to clear them. It's known as the
Quick Release Metal Ticket Guide. They also have
a Ticket Dispenser Validation Kit, which em-
bosses the tickets to show that they have come
through the dispenser.

Leland introduced Dragon's Lair 2, and to my
relief we will probably have fewer problems with
the players because they now use solid state
lasers. They can use three different players,
Sony, Pioneer and Philli.ps. Also, game informa-
tion is on the screen, not on a separate display
board as before.

PROBLEM
There is a DC blocking capacitor on the input to
the audio amp that keeps the any nasty DC from
being applied to the amp. But it also can block
any leakage from the audio amp from draining
off effectively, thereby swamping the input sig-
nal or severely clipping it.
