..... There is a small mod that can be done on the PCB to get a better sync out of it.

Thanks. I don't know if I need the mod, but what is it?

Very nice!
That static noise is also present in my Vanguard(s), I guess it is originally like this, doesn't disturb me too much, it makes this game unique. :D

Yep, you're right about that. Let's say that it is original, and we all like original, don't we?  :D

.... Looks like you cleaned the fan a bit  ;D ;D ;D

Yeah, it needed a good clean.  ;D

I have some bits andd pieces of the harnass left, I will bring it with me. I didn't use your game board connector, I just rewired the one that was in my cab.

And it would be great if you could get 6 bulbs for me from your local dealer. My 'local dealer' is 25 km's from where I live!

Was at the local suppier today for a "creditswitch" for the minipong, and in the same time i bought the lamps.

They had 9 on stock, so i bought 9 of them.
I assume the #4 is a spare for you Gyruss ?

Anyway, i have 6 for Ckong, and 3 for you Gyruss (3 per zacc coindoor)

They also had them in "bulb format, but i don't know if they fit through the hole then..
A good thing of these Bulbtypes is that they are cheaper.. but as said, i dont know if they fit.



These are the ones i bought :

I love the hardcore gaming 101 website, they very often have nice articles. This time a recent one about Vanguard: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/vanguard/vanguard.htm

And I just 'ordered' the A2600 version, with my price money from the Eurocade Nibbler contest.  :)

I love the music when you hit the "energy"

Me too. Didn't know the FG connection. Nice, so retro!
