And this why you need 7 digit scoring on BH Finished the conversion a few weeks ago and all went well. Still awaiting my Player 4 display though

For those that want to convert their games to 7 digit scoring all the info is here:

Thanks to Steve (blownfuse) for compiling all the conversion guide. I the followed the instructions verbatim which confirms the wiring and pinouts are correct Why did Gottlieb have to completely remap the connector pinout when they went from 6 to 7 digits? Grrrrr!!
The hardest part was finding some decent wire that was long enough and similar in colour to match the existing wire from an old wiring loom.
I also got to use a friends Hakko desoldering tool to remove the original PROMS and I must say that I was very impressed with how well it worked. Think I may pick one up myself now.
Also thanks to Ed at GPE for supplying the PROM adapter.

The quick boot is a nice addition using the new PROM though it took me by surprise the first time I powered up!
5X bonus lit and 302,180 bonus on the lower pf I think I ended up with 350K.
