I was reading this very informative post on System 1 upgrades
http://stevekulpa.net/pinball/jppbdb.htm
I just so happened to have 4 or so of these Sys 80 Pop Bumper boards and a parted out Sys 80 wiring harness with plenty of connectors and wire. I wanted to try this on a Close encouters I recently have been shopping out. Currently running a Pascal board with a +5 and a ground off the PX 4 outputs. What a difference! It really makes an incredible change in the feel of the game. No more soft miniscule hits, full strike every time. Plenty of room underneath the Close Encounters playfield.

Yup, Steve Kulpa's idea for using the System 80 "Pop Bumper Driver Boards" on System 1 machines is excellent.

Really makes a difference.
