Last year I wrote a brief article on the reliability
of Data East's Simpsons pinball games, and felt
it was time for an update.
It may be wise to pull on your tickets in your
Deltronic Ticket Dispenser once in a while. I did
and I found I could easily pull a few tickets out!
Goon OVERALL
As mentioned before, the electronics reliability of
all my Data East games is excellent. I haven't had
any shorted coils, intermittent glitches or any
other major problems.
CAUSE
This can be ca used by worn "O" rings or a bad brake
on the motor.

SOLUTION
• If the motor turns over as you pull the tickets, you
need the brake arm and/or the roller it engages.
• If the tickets just slip through, get "O" rings.
NOTE
I would also advise stocking some of these pats if
you have any amount of the Deltronic Ticket Dis-
pensers on your route.

Nothing too serious, and for a new company, an
impressive start.
