means that if someone breaks
into the cabinet from the back to
try and get the cash box they will
find a piece of 3/4" plywood pro-
tecting any access to the front of
the cabinet from the back.
CERTIFIED
First, we have now received UL
certification on all of our video
products. Along with our hockey
tables, we now offer our complete
product line with UL certification
to meet the ever-changing state
and local ordinances requiring all
products that are placed in a com-
mercial environment be UL ap-
proved.
SECURITY
Along with the UL certification,
we have also made many changes
to improve the cabinet security
against break-in's. We have im-
proved the bracket and locking
design of the control panel so that
it is no longer possible to "pop"
the control from outside and steal
the boards. This new design locks
securely from the inside of the
cabinet and provides a new level
of stability and security for the
control panel. We have also iso-

RETRO
The new control panel locking
system is retrofittable to our
older HS-5 and HS-9 cabinets.
Please contact your Dynamo dis-
tributor to order these control
panel kits.
RGBffV INTERFACE
We have also developed an inter-
face board for the HS-13 big
screen cabinet. This board con-
verts the RGB signal from any
JAMMA game board to a usable
television signal. This board will
eliminate any set-up problems
that you may have been experi-
encing with the HS-13 product.
To order this board, please con-
tact your Dynamo distributor.

IN APPRECIATION
I would like to thank whoever at Williams did the
re-programming of Indiana Jones. I just received
my copy of the CPU's L-6 and they finally took the
drop target error message out when the coin door
1s open.
I bet I got more calls on that than any other pinball
problem ever! You know it is hard to open up that
manual to the first page and read the warning of
the interlock - too much like work!

It was also a good idea to limit the amount of times
the balls would be fired out into the shooter lane
-and shot onto the playfield.

If F-116 blows or any of the trough optics crapped
. out this would cause continuous serving of balls
even in game over mode.
With 7 optics in the trough I would say that in the
future this may cause problems when optics get
dirty or solder joints crack. That was another good
addition. You guys keep up the top shelf work.
