Quoted from DuffysArcade:

I've left the club (for now)! Sold my nice US-model Black Hole to a collector in France to raise funds for my TNA CE purchase. Not too many non-export versions over here so he was quite happy and paid a good price. Once I move back to the states I'll be on the lookout for another BH. Love the game!

Hello Guys,
I am the new owner.
I have just updated the Black Hole in 80 A.
With a replacement Prom instead U2, U3 and the game prom
Purchased at Flipprojets
https://www.flipprojets.fr/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=61
And waiting for the 7 digits from The Boston Pinball Company
https://www.bostonpinballcompany.com/displays-S80A.htm
Thanks duffy
Got some 7 digits in 5v from a French dealer, with new power board and adapter.
Looks already nice

Quoted from Crimcyan:

Would anyone happen to have the 7 digit rom? I am starting to do the conversation to 7 digits but cant find the rom anywhere online

You can get it there
https://www.flipprojets.fr/Home_EN.php
I have got it last month.
Works perfectly, real update to 80A system.
Not really cheap, but it's worth.
You also inside get ball save, and lane change

Quoted from bdw85:

I just finished up repairs on this Black Hole I recently picked up. The previous owner was struggling with the bottom playfield up kicker not firing. They replaced the CPU and almost completely rewired the remote transistor circuits on the bottom playfield. Unfortunately they did it in a way that burned up the transistors and the coils. The wiring was removed, new coils and transistors were put in, along with the original cpu board that didn't need replacing. It lives again! It looks awfully sharp next to my other Gottliebs.

Nice Gottliebs

Quoted from Robotworkshop:

That is a great collection and all great playing games! I have a Haunted House and Volcano. Fixing up a Black Hole to bring home with the other two,

Volcano is great, I would like to get one, but no more space available in the game room.
Just got an arcade last week, it fits in the last spot available.
Old one in Jamma , refurbished with 2 boards, 60 in 1 for vertical games , and Pandora 5000 for horizontal games.
And my wife doesn't want to have pinball everywhere at home.

Quoted from swamprat96:

all fixed- it was yet another harness plug in the back- A9 something with a broken wire and yet another broken point on one of the A12 plugs in the cabinet.

Fine

Quoted from Crimcyan:

I got curious about the prices for the speach chip and found this speach chip emulator while googling and it lists black hole
https://www.thegeekpub.com/product/sc-01-speech-chip-emulator-votrax/
Wonder if anyone has any experience with installing in thier game

I have one
Didn't give good sound in my Black Hole, I removed and put back the original SC-01A .
I installed the emulator in my Haunted House updated with speech.
Works fine in HH

I think you have to engage the tool into the other side, along the cables.

I got one and installed it in my Black-Hole US to swap the SC 01 wich was installed in my Haunted House I have updated in 80A with the chips and solderings on the sound board from Davroux Bros on flipprojets
https://www.flipprojets.fr/Hauntedhouse_EN.php
The result : sounds and speeches on the Black Hole were different with the emulator more week and soft .
So I finally installed the emulator on my Haunted House and it worked nice.
So I have a spare SC 01

Quoted from sparky672:

Also SW34 represents five switches in parallel. Did you locate and test all five of them?
[quoted image]

Hi Black Hole Fans,
about these 10 points 5 switches number 34, I just noticed one of these 5 is not present on mine :
The one on the main playfield, up left, near the captive hole .
Under playfield is not enough free space to mount the switch on the kicking coil, due to the system guiding the ball to lower playfield.
I think it was definitely never mounted, because I don't find any wires black -yellow -yellow and blue -yellow -yellow around this area and no empty screw holes in the wood.
Do you have the same lack or is it mounted on yours?

Quoted from frenchmarky:

The fifth 10 point switch is actually on the right slingshot, not the left. So all five switches are there, it's just that the playfield switch location diagram in the manual is incorrect.

You are right, thank you.
Ok, noticed .
Thank you for your quick answer.

Quoted from frunch:

Just had a great game yesterday, lower playfield bonus over 100k! (Thanks to having both G Force lit )...Only managed to get the 2x multiplier lit, but i must have missed at least 6-7 opportunities to pick up more from the lower playfield loop/advance x shot...
Managed to get a pic mid-game after locking a ball... [quoted image]
I've had this game for a while now and i still love it. I can also say it draws the most attention from my guests--how can you not be entranced by the chasing infinity lights and spinning disc, not to mention the vast playfield with blue glowing all about? It's easily one of the 'coolest' pinball machines ever made, imo.
We really are lucky to have such an amazing game for our collections!

yesssssss, absolutely one of the best, with Haunted House.
