Quoted from 85Txaggie:I thought System 1's were limited to 15 credits max...???
Oops, that´s an interesting thing
If the original accu/battery is removed from the CPU-board, the data are logically deleted. But - if you then look at the credit display, you will see and notice, that the credits have exceeded the predetermined fixed value of Gottlieb; the credit-limit value for system 1 is maximum 15 credits!
Not very much indeed. With this "trick" - inserting a new battery to the CPU-board with the machine powered on - you can drive up the limit of 15 credits to maximum 99 credits. But caution: exceeding the 99-limit and falling below the 15-limit leads to the "Gottlieb standard", that says, that the MPU then is virtually "calibrated"!

i would check your coin switches to see if one is bad or stuck. i know on mine, if i trigger the coin switch once, it registers 99 credits, same thing if i win a free game. the stange thing is, it doesnt actually give you 99 credits, since set to free play, "99" will disappear after a game is started.
found out that the rom is bad placed another rom in from buck rogers and was able to clear out credits and keep crediting right now

the dip's were set right i have a second cpu board joker poke and the rom did the same in it
thank very much for the help
Quoted from zarco:Clearing out the audits should fix this. Could also be a bad 5101 too.

thanks did not know that
Quoted from Patofnaud:Did you go into selftest mode and clear out all audits/credits after doing the swaps?
yes it was same bad rom rare but had another one and it works fine
thanks for the help
