PROBLEM
Recently we had a problem with a U-5000
monitor that was installed in a Daytona
Special Edition. I wanted to replace it with
a K7500 but was told it wouldn't work.
This person (won't say who) said that I'd
have to trade deflection coils, buy some
kit or some such hogwash.
SourrmN
Being the skeptical type, I installed the
K7500 anyway. Sure enough, the picture
was split and jittery. I had assumed the
original control unit would work but when
I unhooked it and used the control pad
that came with the K7500 - Presto! No
more problems.

PROBLEM
This is simple. The car has
disappeared. (Note: This is a
follow up to the article I wrote
in Star Techjournal on Chase

MISSING AGAIN
There is a solution to this
problem. The game software
for the Mars harness already
installed in the game will not
accumulate enough credits
for $2 and $5 bills. However,
the coin switch software will
accumulate enough credits to
use $2 and $5 bills.
This is a four-wire harness
that installs in minutes. Plug
the connector into your Mars
validator and connect as fol-
lows:

SoLurION
• Locate IC 7 on the top
PCB board (B52-01,
63S441 or 82S129) with
the car moving on the
screen.
• Check pins 1 to 7, and
pins 11 and 12 for activ-
ity using a logic probe
or o'scope.
• Pins 8, 9, 10, 13 and
15 should be low and
pin 16 high. Any other
output on these pins
means that this part has
failed.
• Check IC35 on the
bottom PC board. If it
fails, the symptom is the
same -the car will disap-
pear as well.
