DAY
IN
THE LIFE OF THE LlZZES:
Today we repaired a Bally first
version electronic sound board
(used in games such as Lost World,
Kiss, Playboy, etc.) for a customer
who was told by 2 or 3 of our
competitors that "parts are no
longer available for those sound
boards, the only solution is to find
another working board." One
place had even sent him 3 boards
and none had worked right.
and voltage levels, plus other
voltage readings noted through-
out the circuit. Makes it the easi-
est board to fix
THE SOURCE
By the way, pinball sound/
speech boards are the hardest
{and most expen$ive) pinball
boards to fix. No kidding!
Just so people know, we have
EVERY part for these sound
boards in stock, and we have
never had one sent to us that we
couldn't fix.
IF you have an o'scope and some
analog sound circuit experience.
And a DIGITAL STORAGE
oscilloscope makes it lots easier.
(And 2 heads working on the
problem!)

Usual charge is about US$60,
plus return shipping. We fix
about 20 to 25 per year. {If you
want a spare or are missing the
entire board, the price is US$100
for an outright purchase.)
ANOTHER TIDBIT
This particular board has the pin-
ball world's BEST schematic. It
is the ONLY pinball schematic
we have ever seen that has oscil-
loscope traces with timing info
