SOLUTION
If a particular game does not ex-
hibit this behavior, then there is
no reason to install the N 111/3
GPROM because the game will
work properly. However, if this
situation does occur in a game,
follow the procedure below to
remedy it:
PROBLEM
There is a restaging feature in the
Nlll/2 GPROM which is de-
signed to kick all of the balls into
the rear and then divide them
evenly between the left and right
sides after every 200 plays. When
the Nlll/2 GPROM is installed
the first time, the Ram memory
location which controls the re-
staging feature may not be initial-
ized to the correct value. If this
occurs, then the restaging feature
will begin after every few min-
utes in the attract mode.

5. Clear bookkeeping by
pressing the left flipper but-
ton and then the credit (start)
