The Lamp ID is based on the following sequence [IO Board #-Chain, Lamp ID].  Translated, 1-A1 would be IO Board #1, Chain A, Lamp 1.  One thing to note is that these lamps are serially addressed, which means that if one LED fails or is missing, all following LED's in that chain will not work correctly (locked on, off, flashing, etc.)

1 Introduction

Heighway Pinball was based in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, UK. Only two pinball titles were produced under the Heighway Pinball name: Full Throttle (2015) and Alien (2017). Heighway Pinball also produced a novelty game named Bacardi Cuba Libre (2014).

Heighway Pinball was dissolved and liquidated in early 2018, and many of the company's assets were transferred to / acquired by The Pinball Brothers company.

2 Games

2.1 Full Throttle

Full Throttle started shipping in 2015

2.1.1 Standard Edition

2.1.2 Limited Edition

The Limited Edition has a run of 250 games planned. The cabinet has an option of coming in either red or black.

2.2 Alien

2.2.1 Standard Edition

2.2.2 Limited Edition


3 Technical Info

3.1 Boardset

3.1.1 IO Board (4 per game)

commonly failed mosfet chips

The two big ones next to the row of capacitors are digikey# FQB22P10TMCT-ND
The driver mosfets (above the row of shorted resistors) digikey# 1727-4629-1-ND

  • Front of I/O Board

  • Back of I/O Board

  • There are a row of shorted 0 ohm resistors on each side of the board, this disables some kind of protection circuit that was too sensitive. AFAIK all Alien games were shipped with this modification


Jaw Controller
Tongue Controller

  • Power Supply Board (Pictured with rectifier, not used in production Alien)


3.2 MPU

  • Where to get motherboard

3.3 Power Supply

  • Modifications

3.4 Lamp Boards

3.5 Lamp Matrix

The Lamp ID is based on the following sequence [IO Board #-Chain, Lamp ID]. Translated, 1-A1 would be IO Board #1, Chain A, Lamp 1. One thing to note is that these lamps are serially addressed, which means that if one LED fails or is missing, all following LED's in that chain will not work correctly (locked on, off, flashing, etc.)
