Hey guys... question/poll...
I just finished restoring a thrashed & hacked Fish Tales and I have a curious thing... The game has the gen1 Fliptronics board in in, but the flipper switches in my game are old school leaf switches, not the opto style.
There is no evidence that the game didnt come this way from the factory... There are plugs in the harness for both types (opto board connectors are just hanging in the cab), and there are no vacant screw holes where opto boards once were.
All the manuals show opto boards controlling the flippers, and both flippers work just fine the way they are, so I dont really see a point in upgrading to opto's unless my game is the only one on earth set up like this.
Anyway, i'm curious if there are some variations on this, or is my game just from another planet?
