"KICK"/"KICKMAN" NOTES & MODIFICATIONS
Subject:
The name "Kick" will be changed to "Kickman" as of Serial Number (U/R
#1600, CIT #650 & Mini #126)
1. The "Kick" game CPU and video board Proms must not mix with "Kickman"
Proms, CPU and video boards.
2. The sound and 1/ 0 board Proms are not affected by the name change.
3. Repeat; check for proper Proms in "Kick" and "Kickman".
NOTE: The cocktail game glass will be the "Kick" type but as of serial number
#650, the Proms will be "Kickman".
Game:
"Kick" or "Kickman"
Subject:
Capacitor CP34 on Sound l/O Board (A082-90908-GOOO)
1. Capacitor CP34 on the Sound l/O Board has been inserted with polarity
reversed due to incorrect labeling on the P.C. Board. This can cause a loss of
+5 VDC when CP34 finally breaks down.
2. Remove capacitor CP34 or reverse its polarity on the Sound l/O Board.
Game:
"Kick"
Subject:
Interchanging Logic Boards between the upright, cocktail and mini models
1. Mini and cocktail boards are the same, the only difference is the dip switch
setting of SWl (located on the sound I/O board).
A. SWl switch #7 ON for mini, OFF for cocktail.
2. To install cocktail or mini boards in an upright game:
A. SWl switch #7 to the ON position.
B. Reverse vertical yoke wires.
1. Using an Electrohome monitor, reverse the brown and gray wires on
yoke.
2. Using Wells-Gardner, reverse the green and yellow wires.
3. Installing upright boards in a mini game:
A. No switch change is needed.
B. Reverse vertical yoke wires.
4. Upright boards in a cocktail game are not interchangeable. Repeat: are not
interchangeable.

"MOUSE TRAP" AUDIO BOARD MODIFICATION
The "Mouse Trap" Audio Board utilizes a Z-80 microprocessor. To insure
proper operation of the Audio Board, the following modification should be made:
1. Solder a 470-ohm resistor to PIN 1 of the 74LS74 at position C-1.
2. Solder the other end of the resistor to PIN 6 of the same 74LS74 at position C-1
This pull-up modification results in a better clock signal for the Z-80 and if not
done can cause some Zilog Z-80 microprocessors ( especially those with a date
code of 8152) to malfunction.
