Seems I did blow the 8279 IC on the Ni-Wumpf board. I replaced it today and now things work. I decided to go ahead and replace the old driver board though with the newer one from Rottendog. It has much more protection. I will keep the old System one driver board for some other machine unless someone on here needs one in the future. I also found a new never used set of the old mated Rockwell IC's for the switch matrix on the original CPU board and have them on the way for shipping only. So if anyone picks up a Gottlieb system one and needs something let me know.

Maybe when the Summer Olympics roll around again I will consider selling it. I know the Winter Olympics start next month. It's a shame the venue for the skiing is already in pre-foreclosure. I guess it really didn't pay to host them in this economy. I feel sorry the the Canadian people who are stuck with the bill now in Calgary.

I'm sure jbscar can sell some machines to help pay the bill .. hehehehe

It's a great classic Gottlieb. The bottom portion is completely symmetrical but the upper portion is offset. The rotating number wheel makes a great skill shot from the right flipper. Filling out the tic-tac-toe center lights with it increases your bonus multiplier. I noticed it has a target with the wording "SPIN ROTO & 1000" but it is only a wire hanging down. I checked the picture on ipdb and see the same thing. I wonder if it was really meant to be a spinner and somebody messed it up in production. It could be an interesting easy mod I will make. Anybody know about this "contradiction" on this game ? Either that or ROTO refers to the number wheel since I see it elsewhere on the board.

I'm attaching a picture to show it.

I just figured out that Spin ROTO refers to the number wheel and not a spinner like I'm used to.

Yes super8man it's all up and running. I even have the old boards working although it's running with the Ni-Wumpf CPU and Rottendog driver boards. (Better protection).

I'm looking forward to watching more of the Olympics this year now that we have two DVR's. Ski jumping is of course my favorite. Next would be the bobsled. Maybe they should have had them here. The wind chill right now is -10 F
