Replacement Control Board
to Driver Board Cable for use in Gottlieb System 1 Pinball Machines.
Self Repair Notes:
If some or all of the pins on your cable need
to be replaced (see information below) you can purchase the following parts
at electronics suppliers like Mouser, Digi-Key or Allied Electronics. Cut
off your existing pins (one at a time, so you don't mix them up) then strip
the wire, and crimp on a new pin. We may provide a kit a some point, but for
now, we are providing this information for those who have asked for help.

These new cables have all new parts. If you have replaced the control board
and/or driver board, you also need one of these cables. This cable is the
cause of many problems with these machines, from machine not working or
starting, lamps or solenoids that don't work or work intermittently. If you
replaced an old control board that had battery acid damage (green or white
looking dust on the board or connector pins) then you definitely need one of
these cables. This cable could solve those problems! This is the
cable that goes from the A1-J5 connector on the bottom of the Control
Board to the A3-J1 connector on the top of the Driver Board.
Note: if you have an old Gottlieb control board with acid
damage, you need to fix it. This cable will fix damage already caused buy
acid damage to the pins on the board.
Examples of battery acid damage:
(click on pictures for larger view)
Example of bad pins:
(Pins on left has greenish or whitish tint) (pins on top right has tab
broken)
Example of bad pins in connector:
(3 pins on left are old, whitish tint, tabs have lost tension-sits lower in
connector, causes bad connections) (3 pins on right are NEW, bright shinny,
full tension, good connection)
|
Advantages of our NEW cable. |
All new components, not 30 years old!
New connectors, new pins, new wire.
(Wire colors my vary from pictures.) |
| NEW pins. The
pins on old machines can loose their tension over time, they can also
have poor connections due to battery acid damage from old control boards. |
| NEW
connectors. Old and brittle connectors that are cracked can cause
loose connections on the pins. |
| We use larger
20AWG wire on the control wires, this provide a stronger connection on
the new pins to avoid the potential of being pulled out or broken off.
|
Our cable has
nice curved design as opposed to the original straight across layout.
Ours fits nice on the original Gottlieb control board or the replacement
Ni-Wumpf or Pascal PI-1 boards.

Troubleshooting Existing Boards and Cables
Our new driver board can correct problems ranging from dim lamps, not
working lamps, not working chimes, or drop targets that won't reset. You can
test some of these features with the self test mode on the CPU control board. See your manual for
instructions on how to test the outputs of the driver board. If you find
that some of your lamps still don't work even after you have replaced the
lamp, the problem could be in the driver board. If your drop targets don't
always reset, the problem could be a transistor on the driver board.
System 1 machines have been known to have problems with CPU boards that
have leaky batteries that have caused corrosion to the cable between the CPU
board and the driver board. You should check the pins on the connectors to
see if any pins are broken, corroded or weak spring force. If you have
replaced your CPU board with a new version because of battery corrosion, you
should definitely check the connector pins. Order a new cable with our
driver board!
There is also some
good information on connector problems located here:

An excellent web site that describes problems in great detail is
www.PinballHQ.com.
IMPORTANT WARNING...never remove the connector at
the displays or control boards or driver board without first turning the machine OFF.
You will probably damage the control board!
