INTEGRATED SOUND BOARD / OPTIONAL SOUND BOARD

Attention :

• The embedded sound board replaces the "3 tones" original sound board located in the body of Cleopatra, Sinbad, Joker Poker, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Dragon, Charlie's Angels, Solar Ride, Count-Down, Pinball Pool pinballs.
  
  
• But the embedded sound board doesn't replace the "advanced" sound board located in the body of Hulk, Totem, Genie, Buck Rogers, Roller Disco, Torch, Asteroid Annie and the Aliens pinballs.
  
  The sound board located in the body of these pinballs must be replaced by:
  • a System1 sound board:
  • a System1, 80, 80A sound board:
  
  These boards directly plug in the original A1J6 connector on the right side of the pinball body.
  The sound board located in the flipper body can also be removed and the less expensive optional sound board can directly be plugged onto the all-in-one board. In this case, use the supplied cable to connect the loudspeaker.
  
  

You can keep the original sound board if it still works. The all-in-one boards is 100% compatible with the original "3 tones" and "advanced" original boards and with the chimes.
