What is this voodoo you speak of? LED replacements for Eight Ball Champ displays? What else am I missing out on? BTW, I already swapped in the 6116 NVRAM, so that didn't get by me...
I think I would like to get white LEDs with 4 different colors (each player has own color) and leave the credit/match white. How might I order that?
And yes, EBC Serial #764 has a 6 digit display for credit/match and 4 x 7 digits for scores.
Quoted from acebathound:Yep! Turns out the very early Bally 6803 games (EBC, Lady Luck, Beat The Clock) all used the same 7-digit and 6-digit displays as the Classic Bally/Stern. I kind of forgot they did that. Thanks for confirming yours as well! I didn't want to add these games to the compatibility list on my LED sets before double-checking they were a standard 7-digit setup (4x 7-digit, 1x 6-digit).
Hmm, what else? Well if your 6803 keypad is in bad shape, I have replacements for that. I actually had an EBC eons ago. And a Strange Science as well. Both had keypads that had at least one or two buttons so worn out you had to mash them a bunch of times to get the button to register.. a working keypad makes making adjustments a bit less frustrating
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/bally-6803-keypads-diy-kit-or-assembledCool, not a problem to do a different filter color for each player display like that. I'll send you a PM with some info.
I am going to hold onto that idea for a couple of weeks. I just bought the stuff I need to rebuild the high-voltage portion of the power board yesterday. I might as well see if I can get my EBC back up with what is on its way to me. Problem is, that even if I fix my problem, there are other signs that my plasma displays are getting long in the tooth. Honestly, if I would have been diligent and found your LED display upgrades three days ago, I would have already switched.
My keypad works great, so I am not in the market for one of those yet. I am glad that you offer the replacements and upgrades for my "oddball" machine. I have already enjoyed one of your upgrades (NVRAM) and will probably do business on new displays soon.
