At first my system did not work, but I used a multi-meter to track down
a little kink in the power cable to restore it to functional condition.


There is a tilt mechanism (they borrowed from a Williams pinball game).
The system is rigged to take dimes it's so old!


There is no central processor, this computer board is "one big
processor" Note the logic chips SW7410N, etc.

Takes dimes.

Why on earth would an electronic game need a tilt mech? Are they afraid the user might cheat by tipping the machine to such a slant that all of the electrons fall to the t'other side of the screen?
