there isnt any chimes in the head shown in the pdb pic. are there any jacks or cut wires on the mech board that dont go to anything?

other cc pdb pics show a chime unit to the right of the cashbox. the same where gottlieb and williams has theirs.

There was an electronic sound module available in the late seventies. Operators could subsitute one for the chime box to 'modernize' a game. They made the sort of sound you describe. I can't remember the make, I'm sure somebody here does. Anyway, have a look to see if there is some kind of electonic module in the front left area of the cabinet.

"Bleep, bloop, blip". Yeeech!

It was Wico. There's a complete NOS kit floating around on flebay if anyone's interested.

Chi Coin used a plain old ordinary NuTone doorbell for chimes. 10 points used the single 'ding' (back door) and 100 pointers got the front door 'dingdong'. A nearly identical replacement may be found at the home store with the 'Heath/Zenith' brand ~ $11 or so.

Someone disconnected this one by ripping out the terminal strip. I used the coil block and chime bar grommets from the Heath doorbell to rebuild the original.

Three wires is all they had - common, front door, back door.
