Hi
ipdb shows on Target-Alpha: http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2500&picno=42296 on the reverse side of the Backglass NO text for "100'000 Points reached" (means I do not see it). The schema shows wiring for it and the bulbs and the relays.

Question: Do You have a Target Alpha - can You see in the Backglass "has made more than 100'00 points" ? Where ?
Greetings Rolf

I don`t see it on mine, 99,990 is the most you`ll get.

Same thing on my Target Alpha, no 100K text or light.

Can you post a photo of that? Is the wiring on your game for an 'Export Game'?

Hi folks
Somebody has asked in a german forum. I show here some snippets of the schema (Info at PBR: this if for documentary reasons - by far it is not the complete schema shown).
The german owner has the relays mounted - but not the lamps - and also has a backglass NOT having the text "100'000 points".
In the forum he got an answer telling: "Schemas stamped Germany (see in the JPG) have this feature" - also claiming "Target Alpha AND Bronco do have it". The one also wrote "First official Gtb-pin with this 100'000 points feature is Jungle Queen" (might be true - might be wrong - I do not know). The one also claims "100'000 points-Relays NOT implemented in Scoring-Limits for Score-Drum-Replays".

In the JPG I show "lamps" then "List of Relays" then "stamped GERMANY" then snippet of "wiring of the relays".
I cannot give more information - I actually brought-up the subject for "gathering information" ... Greetings Rolf

Hi
"interesting (?) question": If the German owner would mount "added 455-flashing bulbs" behind the "1st Player-Up (, 2nd, 3rd, 4th)" place in the Backglass: http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2500&picno=23192 - turning-off the regular lamps and turn-on the flashing bulb(s) - would this be a "Hack" or an "Add-On" ? Greetings Rolf

There is a 100,000 point part mounted in the back.
Getting "over the top" will light one of the lights on the score when the plug for 100,000 is used.
Sold a Target Alpha with this feature early this year, I think it has been some sort of prototype.
There where no 100,000 points located on the original backglass.
So I think it is a add-on, if I'm not mistaken it's the lampholders located nearest to the player indicator (1,2,3,4)

Hi wizardblom
thanks for the information. Can You ask the person You have sold the pin for: Taking a picture of the area in the Backbox showing the place these 100'000-points-lamps are mounted and then donate to ipdb.org the picture and the serial-number of the pin ?
I think "this is interesting and worth to show in ipdb". Greetings Rolf

I will, the places are where normally the bulbs are for the scoring, in 100,000 position they will be unlit until over the top is reached.
At first I thought the sockets where bad until I (finally) had a score over 100,000.
There are four separate relays in the backbox and a plug with four wires.
