Iirc, in the test menu you need to adjust a setting called special mode, set it to 2. If that isn't it, it's the other high score mode, set it 2. It's in the manual but it's sort of confusing.

Edit: it's high score mode , set to 2

You will have to cut your own or take it to a glass shop and have them replicate it. It does have four holes drilled through it.

On second thought, it might have retainer clips that go into the metal frame instead of a screw that goes through the acrylic. It's been awhile since I've looked at a midway monitor setup...

Nope, you cannot stack extra babies. I've taken 'dives' to prevent the second baby from being wasted.

I have a baby pac coin box for $30 shipped in the US

Is that the reproduction bezel? Why aren't the fruits colored!?

Thank goodness. Phoenix arcade does really good work and i would be shocked if they missed that detail. All is right in the world, carry on.

That monitor is a wells gardner 13k4800

The time you are going to waste digging through a manual for cap listings, then verifying if the manual is correct versus your chassis, then asking 'what temp should I buy?', 'what lead spacing do I need for each cap?', etc., is not worth saving the $2-3 mark up on a cap kit

The monitor has hold/sync controls, but the vidiot has a sync pot too. The pots on the vidiot are notoriously crappy (r/g/b, sync, volume) and should be replaced before chasing down monitor issues.

4th to last page of the manual.

Its likely bad color pots on the vidiot pcb. At least the red pot, but Id change them all as the stock ones are low quality.

I'm working on a vidiot that is playing the wrong sounds. Vidiot fully boots and plays video in game with pinball. The sound tests function, communication tests pass. The sound cpu and sound rom are known working from another board. Sound rom socket has been replaced, cpu socket is original but has continuity on all pins. Also socketed/replaced u28 and u31 thinking it was an adressing issue but no change in symptoms. Any suggestions? Can the dac cause this issue?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am testing the vidiot in a fully working game that has had all of the connectors replaced. All the headers on project vidiot are also replaced.

After getting tunnel vision focusing on the output of the sound cpu and buzzing out all the traces, I started looking at the inputs to the sound cpu. Cpu to dac traces were good, but cpu to pia were not. One trace didn't have continuity and after folllwing it through many vias, the problem was obvious. At somepoint in this board's life, a tech who I will guess was aptly named Corey Crowbar, needed to remove the pia at U7 and decided to use the pcb as a fulcrum. In doing so, two traces were damaged. Jumper wires in place and the sound is back to fully working!

Adjust the horizontal hold/sync on the monitor. There is also the sync pot on the vidiot, and you might have to find the balance between the two pots.

Its official, a set of triplets! I have a baby pac in my collection, another at my sister's place, and now my brother has the one pictured.

Also be mindful of the foot print of pots, there are different sizes. The adjustment might be mounted differently as well. The stock is horizontal mount, the pic above is vertical. Not always a physical issue, but one way is usually easier to adjust based on how the pcb is in the cab. I second gpe as a pot source.

There is another volume pot on the coin door, is that working? Are you getting ten flashes on the vidiot at boot up? The first two flashes are for the sound section. The sound section and video section have separate power supplies on the vidiot, make sure the sound power circuit is working.

Yes, both styles came from the factory and they switched sometime during production. Of my three babies, two are cones and the other is that red style.

Two brackets inside that slide towards the front to prevent the glass lifting up. Slide them back to remove the glass

Just eproms that were likely removed to abate corrosion but they never finished. If the rest of the machine is cosmetically good and complete, snap that baby up.

I had a vidiot board that was booting and playing fine to the casual player but I noticed a few minor issues:

1. The credits were displayed as 'credit 0' even though sw 27 was off on mpu (shouldn't be displayed) and the credit count never incremented over zero even though credits were added and able to be played.

2. When ghosts turned blue while traveling in the tunnel, they would get frozen on the right edge of the right tunnel. They would just vibrate slightly until they turned back into normal colors and then would move normally.

3. Each in between maze sound was incorrectly played as the game start tune.

4. The pacscalator sound was just two quick beeps and not the sliding sound.

Fault: program roms U9 and U10 had checksums that didn't match the ipdb.org files. They were still 'ok' enough to pass the boot up test but after reburning/replacing them all of the minor issues cleared up.

I own three baby pacs. One has silver (metal) volcanoes, one has black (plastic) volcanoes, one has the smaller buttons like yours. Those buttons are also famous for being on pac/ms pac cocktail arcade cabinets as the start buttons.

I have several baby (pac) mommas. Two of my siblings wanted their own after playing so much of mine.

Switches 31 and 32 set your starting lives per game. You cannot 'stack' extra babies/lives in the game meaning if you score two extra lives on the same ball - you only get one. Its important to master taking a dive in that situation.

3/8-16 leg leveler. Pinball machines use 3", video games use 2".
