    The first blue LED was created in 1972 by Herb Maruska. The first blue diode was presented in 1992.
    The first blue LEDs were developed in Japan in the early 1990s by professors Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano, and Shuji Nakamura. Their work enabled a new generation of bright, energy-efficient white lamps, as well as color LED screens.
    The breakthrough came in 1986 when Akasaki and Amano created a high-quality GaN crystal. In 1990, Nakamura also successfully produced a high-quality GaN crystal.
    In 1994, Nakamura used a double heterojunction InGaN/AlGaN to produce a device with a quantum efficiency of 2.7%. This opened the door for efficient blue LEDs to be easily produced.

    Yup, as others here have said, the light strip behind the tube on Xenon were originally just regular white bulbs.
    But what I came here to say was that one of the things that I've always enjoyed about your videos is the highly detailed notes that Joe always leaves for you after he's inspected a machine. 🤣

    I'm really not surprised that they swapped the CPU to the MC6802 - the original MC6800 reference design included an (expensive) hermetic metal clock oscillator unit (MC6871?) that generated the two clock phases that the MCU needed - the MC6802 included the clock circuits and just needed a single external xtal and also had 128 bytes of built-in scratchpad RAM in page 0. Since most MC6800 designs included both clock generator and a RAM chip to provide the zero page RAM switching to the MC6802 would reduce your BOM cost with zero effect on software compatibility. So many people changed over to the MC6802 that the original MC6800 quickly became a rather high cost and hard to obtain legacy part. In fact, this was one of the very first jobs I was given as an EE - replacing a MC6800/MC6871/MC6810 combination on a control board with a MC6802 + xtal.

    Actually, the original lightbar on the tube were made up of small lamps, the kind with only legs.
    They probably have a fancy name I don't know about. The blue LED's came later. I remember
    first seeing blue LED's in an electronics catalog in 1990 and they cost something like $50 a piece.

      Those old GOW bulbs were so prone to failure the LED replacement strips were probably one of the first LED mods created for pinball and the reason it's hard to find an old Xenon without it.

      They were probably over driven if they failed often.
      That, or, they were left on for years, and failed from age.
      Most of the ones I've seen in equipment lasted a decade or two. But they were probably running them at reduced voltage

    I've been sick for a few days now.
    Nothing serious only a cold with some sore throat and I feel weak and a bit dizzy.
    I have a broken neglected old Gottlieb Circus that I've been working on recently to make it work and presentable again, but this damn cold is preventing me from continuing to work on it.
    I've got bored laying in bed and I checked on youtube to see if there's any new video from my favourite pinrepair guy to make me feel a bit better and now here it is.
    Thank you, Ron.
    Keep up the good work, I love your videos.

    The space shuttle on the backglass of this pinball machine is named "Defender." That's a reference to the classic side-scrolling shooter videogame, "Defender," ALSO made by Bally Midway when they were still the same company. Midway, Williams, Bally...! It gets confusing because of the corporate reshuffling!
    Anyway, I like their pinball machines better than their videogames.

    • @JimHawkwind03411

  • @joetripp123
    @joetripp123 10 месяцев назад +5

    Nice rare machine Ron. I wonder if the emergence of new games like Pac-Man, Galaga, Ms Pac-Man, etc along with home games like Nintendo NES, etc caused a lot of the decline in the pinball scene of the 80's.

    • @areizman
      @areizman 10 месяцев назад +1

      The emergence of the video game market indeed led to the demise of much of the pinball market. Ballys fortunes shrank dramatically as Midway captured most of the coinop market with Space Invaders, Galaxian, and especially Pac Man. Operators stopped buying pinball and filled their location with easier to maintain video games that earned much more money. Bally tried desperately to keep pinball alive. Midway eventually swallowed up the Bally pinball division and then started cheapening the games to make them an affordable alternative to the ever increase wave of vids.
      It was the rise of arcade quality home arcade games like Nintendo that would do in video games. There was no reason to drop a quarter in a coin slot when you could play all you wanted at home on your NES. This led to a late 80 early 90s renaissance in pinball whch could not be cranked out for home use as easily as a home game CD.

  • @markjackson1444
    @markjackson1444 10 месяцев назад +2

    I’ve not encountered this machine at all. It seems like it’s gonna be a pretty fun game….Regarding early 80s pinballs, they obviously were in a down period. …but then the 70s were such a hard act to follow. Consistency is almost impossible to achieve consistently. Pinball has risen from the ashes a few times over its history. …just wait for The Addams Family, and so many great games in the 90s.
    Thanks for the vids. Always fun.

    • @JimHawkwind03411
      @JimHawkwind03411 10 месяцев назад

      From what I can guess, the sounds were CPU generated, similar to the Williams sound boards used in System 4-11 and in their various video games.
      Bally Midway would later produce similar boards to the Cheap Squeak, like the 6809-based Turbo Cheap Squeak (video game and pinball versions), and the 68000-based Cheap Squeak Deluxe/Sounds Good, as well as the pinball equivalent, dubbed the Sounds Deluxe.

It has sailboats (I don't even like sailboats) on the side and I am hoping one day that fine machine will get some Ron love with a set of repair videos.

I know it wasn't actually me because I've never replaced a pop bumper coil in a Cybernaut, but my philosiphy is the same. If it is a similar coil that will work just fine, I don't care which coil it actually is. Just make sure the diodes are correct (if there are any) and it will work just fine. I've done it many times.

    EVENT HORIZON
    If you have never seen it, the cast is great and the acting is perfect and the science behind it is real and the visuals are cool
    There are so many scenes that could be a part of a pinball machine
    The Gravity Drive
    The LifeBoat
    The suits
    The explosive charges
    If you watch the movie and then go back and watch it a second time and think about the parts of the ship that could be a part in a game
    Just an awesome movie
    And to have a bunch of spinning rings with thr lights and you hit tue right drop targets and ramps and get the rings to lock and the gateway to open.
    It would be so cool to have the spinning rings around the center and have the lights all come on. And they could have a display in tue backglasd with thr scene and the effect of the gateway and the sounds
    So many cool sounds
    The lightning storm in space

    • @endotherm
      @endotherm 10 месяцев назад +3

      Blue LEDs were the holy grail, nobody could work out the formulation to make blue. By then they had all the other colours settled, it wasn't until much later that blue and violet came along, of course leading to tri-colour RGB LEDs, and eventually white light. The 3 Japanese inventors were actually awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for it. The problem was nobody could come up with a way to grow gallium nitride crystals of high enough quality, or create p-junctions on it. Nowadays, intense blue LEDs are everywhere, and giving off laser-grade brightness where just a simple dim intensity would do.

  • @soviut303

    Question: Starting to see a LOT of pinball popping for sale (for LOTS of $$$) that LOOK to be Stern or Bally or Gotlieb, and have the names, but they might be 1 player games, or 2 player games only. These are the same titles that you're working on that are 4 player. The seller is always saying "RARE 1 Player" or "RARE 2 Player" game, and super inflated prices. Many comments on them saying "These are not rare, they were 'home version' games that sold for a lot less, and were very cheaply made. Any info? Would love some machines, but alas, SWMBO says NO. :(
