In some locations, players have discovered
that 301 IXX.JBLE IN/IXlJBLE OUT can be
played for 25 cents by pressing game
select buttons one and five and releasing
at the same time (doesn't always work
however). The attached minor wiring change
to the game select pushbuttons will
prevent this from occuring. Thanks goes to
Bob Amin of Pioneer Sales, Milwaukee, WI
for this idea!
