SUBJECT
PROBLEM
oughly tested and have been in
production for a while now and
are currently available
through your local Dynamo
distributor.
Dynamo has recently intro-
duced a new patented Cue ball
separator. The ball separator
can now separate, without
having to make any adjust-
ments, the magnetic, oversize,
universal, as well as the stan-
dard Dynamo Cue ball. The
Dynamo table can now be op-
erated beside any other coin-
operated table without worry-
ing about the wrong Cue ball
being used.
Av AILABILITY
The new UD tables also fea-
ture Cherry wood color and
chrome trim around the ball
view door, triangle, and collec-
tion housing on the rack wall
of the table. For more informa-
tion on our new UD series of
pool tables please contact your
local Dynamo distributor or
contact Dynamo at 1-800-527-
6054.
IDENTIFICATION
The new UD separator can de
identified by its silver color.

SOLUTION
I had to connect the green
(ground) wire for the AC cord
to the cabinet ground but not
connect it to the "FG" on the
supply.
I have only run into this prob-
lem twice in the past several
years. I've always connected it
to the "FG" on the supply.
So, if while using these sup-
plies and you get a bad picture,
try taking the AC cord earth
ground off of the supply.

After installing a Tekbilt sup-
ply, I had wavy lines in the
video. I have used these sup-
plies in other games and have
had no problems.
