That was probably me recommending nvram.weebly. $160 delivered and he does stand behind his products. He’s been active in pinball and making pinball electronics for ten years.
He sells a lot of other boards as well. Check out his diy rectifier board kit for $35 delivered
I would try Weebly, quick shipping, will be available with quick response if an issue or question arises. Ive bought tons from him with no complaints.
I'm getting away from boards that have dozens of ROMs built in and use a switch to select. A lot of my games have modified ROMs for tournaments, free play and/or 7-digit scoring. Its nice to be able to use non-standard ROMs instead of being locked into what is burned onto the board. That said, I have had nothing but great luck with Alltek. Their boards are really nice. Weebly is a nice alternative if you want to save a little money or be able to use your own ROMs.
I buy Alltek from Big Daddy or Pinball Life.
Quoted from John_I:Weebly is a nice alternative if you want to save a little money or be able to use your own ROMs.
The Weebly board has expanded ROM and RAM addressing allowing anyone who wants to write their own game code/rules to go to town and not be restricted to the limited factory ROM/RAM space on the original MPU board. This includes using Olivers homebrew game code that requires expanded ROM.
The spare 512kbit ROM socket on the Weebly board allows you to program up to 60kByte of game code (factory board is 8kByte), and onboard RAM expanded to nearly 4kByte.
Quoted from timab2000:I bought a dozen boards from alltek wouldn't go anywhere else
Me too. I'll stick with what's been working. Prices are the same everywhere so doesn't really matter where you get it - I'm a PBR guy.
I've bought a couple weebly Bally sound boards and those were great too. We are lucky to have so many sources for this stuff.
