Quoted from mrbanjo:Electronic chimes?
Electronic sounds, this one is from Wico, as that name is on the speaker. Luckily when it was installed that they didn't drill/cut a speaker hole in the bottom of the cabinet. These sound boards were added to update the game. They make similar sounds to SS games, and if that old EM was in an arcade it could sort of keep up with the SS pins.
This is a pretty good explanation of what you may have.

Yeah Wico
I have one that I plan on putting in my old beater CC Top Ten when I get around to doing a rebuild on it. Keeping the doorbell chimes & putting the Wico in & changing between the two with a hidden switch.
Not doing a cosmetic restore on it, just getting it playing nice (well, as nice as a CC pin can) - it's going to be my "camping" pin.
Quoted from KenLayton:Yup, it's a Wico electronic sounds update kit for EM pinballs.
Sometimes an "update" is a step backwards.

Yeah, but is there a speaker hole on the side of it?
