I've had this game at one time.
I always disliked the bad attract mode.
Together with Oliver Okaegi I've created a new attact mode.
I also advised to change some sounds as they did not seem correct to me.
At some point you would hear the "slam" alarm sound when it shouldn't be heard.
And there are some other changes too.
This is all in the rom file V12 on the ipdb.

Quoted from mima:

Hey guys i have an annoying issue with my GB. Some times (more frequently lately) it is impossible for the game to eject the gold ball for goldball play. It simply does not shoot up. Mech cleaned new sleeve. What might be the issue?
Any ideas?

Check your Solenoid driver board for bad solder joints at the print headers.
Problem number 1 for these things.

The coil loses power if there is a cracked solder joint.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
It will cause little sparks at the cracked joint and increases the problem over time.
Bad connector can also do this.

Looking for photos of the apron cards supplied with the field service kit please, as listed below. In particular the one that describes completing GOLDBALL to award the Gold Ball. Thanks.

Please let me know if you find any of those cards.
I have the even numbered cards in the file on my website http://www.inkochnito.nl
Look in the Bally section.
I can add the cards you find or even just the right text...

Remarkably, the original handwritten apron card blueprints are on Ebay, we can kind of make out what is on cards -A031, -A033 and -A035

Working on it.....

Working on it.....

The file is finished.
I was able to add all the missing cards (English versions).
Even the 2-player cards are added as well as the score inserts.
The file is uploaded on my website http://www.inkochnito.nl, look in the Bally section.
Thanks for sending me the images.
