Joined the club today! Totally unexpected. Woot!
Runs! Woo Hoo! Alltek board.

How does the new one compare?

Meteor has these also...Marco carries them...they are Meteor colored. I'll check tomorrow if they are hot stamped or if they come with a sticker--I want to say they come with a sticker.

Either way it may be worth a call to Marco to see about making some for Nine Ball.

Those molds are somewhere...

I haven't been to my house with that pin in it...I do need to get over there though.
I need to finish up another project and need to get there with my volt meter...can't find it.

Mine has no missing paint but the colors are not as bright as they could be.

After a year of storage my Nine Ball is home! I played it the day I bought it and played several games today...and then it stopped at the end of the game. The final game I played was a two player game. It seems like the credit button wasn't registering the last time.
Set for five balls--feels like cheating.
Running an Alltek MPU.
GI and attract come on.
The tones happen when I turn on the machine.
When I hit the credit button, nothing happens.
I'm getting some strange stuff on the displays: #3 is strobing through all the digits in a very "light" font. #4 is blank. 1 and 2 were ok.
There is a solid light on the MPU.

I'm wondering if I need to add credits.
Any suggestions?
Please be gentle...this is my first classic Stern (My Meteor is a project and is coming home this week from storage too).

What is the status of the arduino mod/upgrade on Nine Ball?
(Similar to what happened to Meteor in 2021?)
When I looked into this back then, my understanding was that the ROM update had not been completed (go figure--volunteers getting it done as they can while juggling jobs and families).
Also, I was under the impression that I could use that arduino chip with an Alltek board set...is that correct?
