Last night I went to pick up a super sonic. I had been emailing back and forth with the buyer for a couple weeks and only received 2 blurry pics and very little info.

We agreed on on a price and pickup time and I headed there last night. Upon arrival I pulled up to a million dollar house where the owner brought me done to the basement to show me the game. It looked like new.

So I paid him for it and started disassembling it. While taking it apart I mentioned how clean it was. The owner then casually replied that it should be very clean as it was never in a arcade and that his dad got it brand new as he was good friend with the owner of Gilchrist amusements in the 70s.

This was all mentioned after I paid him and he had nothing to gain. Deffinatly looks HUO. original glass no scratches, no playfeild wear, original keys/ coin box and there is still dimples on the playfield.

Ya it's been sitting a while gonna need some work to get running.

OK update:

Have the game playing 100% except the sound.

If I jump the contacts on the score relay that trigger the sound it will go off buy it quickly gets quieter and quieter then you have to let it "charge" back up for a minute then it will do the same thing when you jump it again. I've replaced the 3 main caps with smaller Newer ones of the same value but that didn't fix it. M stumped. Any advice before I start a new thread on it?

Adjustment pot is great and feels and looks great, if i turn it down and just the contact it goes off quieter if i turn it up and jump the contact it goes off loader just loses power quickly it seems then needs to charge before working again. That's why if your playing you never hear it as it doesn't get a chance to charge but if you trigger it manually from the scoring relay it sounds perfect. wait a minutes sounds perfect again. but it you leave it jumped it jump it a couple times in a row it gets quieter and sounds like a toy with batteries dying.

I want to do this what are the specs on them. the two biggest ones just says 104. the common ones say .04uf but no voltage and the really small ones just say 10n

Those are all brand new see my above posts. The original were all axial change them to the newer ones which were much smaller.

Here are the old ones.

I wondered when someone would ask that. It's so old it's a single sided circuit board so I reused the positive holes and drilled a small hole through the circuit board into the the ground on the back. I did that with 2 caps. Board works exact same with new caps as it did with old ones.
