    Will this work in Jeutel games? They don't seem too complicated from the schematics. One would need to rewire the connectors but that is no big deal.
    This could also be good for other low production games like Gameplan, Atari and Allied Leisure.

    Bummer. It would have been a good idea IMO. Thanks for the clarification.
    Seems Gameplan MIGHT be doable as there seem to be a lot of similarities with Bally, but I am definitely no electronics expert.
    I have no idea how Jeutels work.

    I read you only use the 5 and 12v power from the SDB and could use a PC power supply instead. So does this mean you do not need to use a standard Bally/Stern Transformer and the power rectifier board at all if you use a PC power supply?

    #180 7 years ago

    What if the playfield coils on the Jeutel were designed/planned to run 35Vdc? Bally is normally 43vdc. Wouldn't 48 be too high for my 35s?

    I think the answer is yes but I couldn't find it to be sure, do I need the SDB still to run original the high Voltage displays?

    Thank you. It seems like the hardware part will be easy and is compatible. Writing up the rules will be simple but I have never done code before. I need to check how difficult this is. I am sure it is more difficult than a bunch of, Hit this switch, light lamp A, activate solenoid 2, make sound X and score 1000 points.

    Well, I took the plunge and ordered a board.
    Lionel, I hear you but I am not sure it matters what kind of chips the original Jeutel Boards used. I am not running anything Jeutel but the playfield and the only thing on there are lamps, switches and coils. The switch matrix is the same as Bally's. I might have to change normally closed switches to normally open or vice-versa, maybe.
    I am in the process of mapping all the lamps, coils and solenoids and matching them to the Bally pinouts.

    Bump to hopefully get the ops attention. I still want to buy an MPU board. Ready to get back on my project.

    What is the status of my board? Your listed email no longer works.
