BEST NOVELTY VIDEO
Mad Dog
This game use a laser disk and it's a blast to play.
I'm a little gun shy of any laser game, but if this
one holds up (Sony player), it'll be a great game.

PROBLEM

Order prepaid or COD from:

SOLUTION
• On the CPU board, replace C89, 4.7uF with a
47uF unit to increase the reset time.
• On the sound board, replace LI torroidal coil
with a 2 ohm, 5 watt resistor and replace C58
I000uF 25v with a 2200uF 25v.
This decouples the amp from the main supply by
forming a low-pass filter and improves overall
filtering.
NOTE
A slight reduction in max volume will occur but
there is still plenty of sound for even arcades.
