Space Time
Bally, 1972I own a Bally Space Time and I have always wondered what the 00-90 across the top of my backglass means. It seems like it's only ever illuminated at game over, but I have no idea what the number displayed means.
I grabbed an image from vpinball to show what numbers I am talking about.
ST_B2S (resized).jpgQuoted from Billc479:possibly the stepper is missing.
If the stepper was missing, those numbers would not light up.
According to the schematic, you won't see the match lights at all unless the adjustment plug is in the on position, so I suspect the plug is in the on position.
As other's have mentioned, those numbers indicate the "Match" feature. When turned on (via plugs in the game), if you match the lit number with the last 2 digits of your score, you're supposed to win a free game. Great in an arcade, as it's a last ditch gamble to play again, but more or less useless in a home environment.
Quoted from jrpinball:Is it just me, or does this game have odd looking score and credit digits?
It’s a screenshot from a virtual pinball machine.

Ok. That 'splains that.
