    Picked up a Fab U Ball machine that does not have the display board. It is a Skee Ball like machine. Skee Ball brand displays are nor the same. It has 3 digit 7-segments (via incandescent lamps) and 10 individual incandescent lamps for the balls played indicator. I cannot find schematics or manual any where on the net. No one responds to questions so I thought I would try here to get some leads. I have found some information but nothing that describes how the display works or driven by the CPU. If anyone can point me some where for information it would be appreciated. If anyone actually has one of these games and could take close up pictures of the display board that would help. If I can see what ICs are used on the board and the wire connections from the plugs I can figure out the circuits and build my own board.

    Quoted from mswhat:

    Post#36 has the manuals in PDF form I believe. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the response. I have looked at those before but they do not have schematics for the pcbs and the photo of the display board is not clear enough to make out the ics being used. I posted there so hopefully some one will respond.
