Quoted from kciaccio:

It says system 3-7..But it works on Pin-Bot System 11 boards plug and play to?
If so I want to buy it too.

Yes, they work for system 11 but you have to be careful that you understand the wiring differences, as Chris outlines in his link above.

If I have time this weekend, I will post installed pics on Sorcerer (system 9), and system 11: Pinbot, High Speed, and F-14.

My first system 11 install was on f14 tomcat. I didn't think there was enough room for that board next to the mpu so I used a z-connector and a longer harness to reach the sidewall. I also prefer to use larger wire for the flipper power wires.

I decided I didn't like the extra connector and longer harness, so for the rest of the system 11 installs I crammed the little board next to the mpu. Its tight, but it works. Here is a high speed (the mpu is currently on the bench)

Quoted from Goonie:

So, other than gutz's note above, I don't see much about this being needed on System 9 games. Worth it? Is it just plug and play for Sorcerer?

These are not required on any game, but they are damn good insurance against the special solenoids getting locked on and burning up your mpu or driver board (depending on the system). Unless you planted a mpu tree or money tree in the backyard, I suggest you protect your very hard to find working system 9 mpu with a $30 fuse board.

Quoted from Bellagio:

Thanks for posting the pic. I wasn’t familiar with this board at all before reading this thread. What spot on the HS MPU do you plug it into? I installed the bridge rectifier fuse board (highly recommend), but I’m not sure if I need this one?

HS pic is harder to see, but it's the same as the pinbot pic.
