Great work, Max. I figured, based on the other videos that you'd get this one looking good and playing. I say we live in tgis weird golden age of pinball and arcade repair because of all the videos that are out there. Thanks for making the videos and adding to it.
On pinball machines starting in the late 70s, when the machine is in game over mode it would flash the lights on the playfield and sometimes make sounds, which would attract people to the machine hence the name “attract mode”. This machine never had that from the factory, but with the new CPU board I installed it adds a flashing light sequence when it’s in game over, so it now has an attract mode.
@@MaxsGarage I thought all 70's pinball games had an attract mode flashing light sequence during the game over but I didn't know that the Gottlieb System#1 games didn't have an attract mode.
@@waynegram8907It’s only the very early solid state games that don’t have it. For example my 1978 Williams Phoenix doesn’t have it either. It wasn’t until 1979-1980 where games started including that.
@@MaxsGarage Ok thanks, I guess it became a standardization by 1980 for Solid State games. I guessing those Gottlieb Spider Chips for the System 1 were made by Rockwell part number 11660EF which are Both ROM & RAM chips in one chip package which I'm guessing outputs various strobe output signals for the Lamp Lights. It seems that Rockwell made custom Spider Chips for Gottlieb for the System 1 pinball games.
Great job! Ball moves around on that playfield like glass. Cant get much better than that. Thanks for going ahead and documenting this process. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed! It’s amazing what a simple clean up and wax job can do!

What does the attract mode sequence doing or testing?

@@MaxsGarage I thought you were using the Attract Mode as a way of testing the playfield light lamps to see which lamps weren't working correctly.
