PRODUCT UPDATE
Krr
CoNrENrS
Lazer-Tron takes every opportu-
nity to assure that our redemption
products meet all of your needs.
To that end we are making avail-
able this upgrade kit for your
Lazer-Tron Pirate's Gold redemp-
tion unit.
1. UPDATED MAIN CONTROL
BOARD: Enclosed is an updated
Main Control Board (PCB
100051). Included are installation
and start-up instructions. There
are no functional changes to the
operation of the product.
This kit will increase the reliabil-
ity of your linked progressive dis-
play unit and enhance your unit's
audio effects. We have included
detailed instructions for the instal-
lation of this upgrade. We wel-
come any comments or questions
you may have about this upgrade.
2. UPDATED SOUND SOFTWARE:
Enclosed are 4 Eproms (Revision
A2) labeled SO, SI, S2, S3 for the
Sound Board (PCB 100050). In-
cluded are instructions for Eprom
installation.
3. Recommended coin basket
ticket values and
modified rebound
pin configuration.
To WRAP IT ALL UP, the only thing
NOTE
concrete at this time is the coin-
op version of the Ultra 64, using
the new system -which is Killer
Instinct , has fallen from number
1 to number 5 in less than a
month. As for the home system,
everything is still in development
and sounds to be a long ways
away. If Killer Instinct is any indi-
cation, the whole system could be
scraped before it even reaches the
home market. One way or an-
other, I don't think we have any-
thing to worry about.
At least not yet.
We suggest removing
2 pins to lower the
overall win ratio on
the game.
AVAILABILITY
Contact your autho-
rized Lazer-Tron dis-
tributor for more in-
formation and avail-
ability of this up-
grade kit.
