Rock-Ola 6000X Legend Lamp W305 (part =#=
52801) fails, and the replacement is no longer avail-
able. This illuminates the center page decal and
mechanism. Without it, the appearance of this
beautiful jukebox is greatly diminished!

SOLUTION
Extends life
of weak or
dull monitors
and TVs!
Use lamp =#= 1251 as a replacement. This readily
available lamp used in older Williams pins (Pinbot
etc.) works great! While not as bright, it is an easy
fix and lives forever. Sure beats modifying the cir-
cuit with resistors, etc. Hope this helps.
Works on all
makes&
models!

International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) said
it developed a new semiconductor manufacturing
process that enables it to shrink electronic circuitry
to smaller dimensions and fit more computer logic,
or "intelligence," onto a single chip.

IBM said this technology, called CMOS 7S, is the
first to use copper instead of aluminum to create
the circuitry on silicon wafers. While copper has
long been recognized as a superior electrical con-
ductor, it has been difficult to adapt to semicon-
ductor manufacturing, leaving aluminum as the
material of choice for over 30 years. CMOS 7S
will be used to help build higher performing, higher
function microprocessors for computer systems,
while also allowing electronics makers to create
innovative new products that are smaller, lighter
and require less power.

TOP EARNING GAME COLLECTION REPORT
Chart compiled by john Ridgway for Betson Pacific's Internet Television website at www.betsonpacific.com
September 25: Because we did not receive numbers from 1000/o of our participants, this is a modified poll.
Some titles have dropped, but that is due to the fact that they are simply not in the reporting locations. Our
poll will be expanded again once the numbers come into us. We have also left out the "Last Week" positions
as they are irrevelant unless two week of consistent numbers come in from the same locations. Collection
figures below are gathered from around the country, averaged together on a bi-weekly basis, and presented
below. Disclaimer: while these numbers are representative of those who report earnings to us, please note
that your actual earnings could be less or more, depending upon the location your games are in. Please
Note: We do not print earning reports for test games.
