Anyway, wrt to HOWOTO formatting, I have no specific ideas about this.  I think we are constrained by the pinwiki formatting.  If you mean the actual seperation, I think there needs to be a 'general' section (how to test coils, transistors) and then a platform specfic howto.  What we need to stay clear from is 'reinventing the wheel', where someone writes an article but doesn't notice someone else has already started a similar one.  To avoid this, I'd suggest using the search box first to see if an article exists already.

Chris:  Hey, I've been waiting on the Forums to come back up to bring this up, but saw you mentioned site organization as well.  I think it's time we get some kind of plan together before we get so many pages that it becomes too difficult to re-organize. 
 
  
I put together sort of an outline that describes the way I suggest we do it.  I'd be happy to start the process, but it would be pretty involved, so I'd hate to start it and then have everyone say they hate it so I thought it would be best to get some others involved in it as wellWithout the forums though, it's kinda hard to do that, so I guess this is the best we have.

Chris, blanking signal is actually a periodic signal I know you're in the process of editing, but it is an important distinctionObviously it's high most of the time, but it dips low at least once every display interrupt (to clear the displays).
  
I put this together pretty quickly, so if there are any questions, or any issues, just let me know

I've been repairing pins since my first acquisition in 1991 (Gottlieb Centigrade 37). My collection of 60 or so games is split between Gottlieb EMs and a mix of solid state games.

Oldest game: 1962 Gottlieb Rack-A-Ball
Newest game: 1995 Williams Attack from Mars

Chris, blanking signal is actually a periodic signal I know you're in the process of editing, but it is an important distinction. Obviously it's high most of the time, but it dips low at least once every display interrupt (to clear the displays).

If only it worked as desired to prevent coil lockout (*sigh*)

Playground:

Using a SIMTEK STK12C68-SF45 in various manufacturer's boards Board modifications:

Sega or Stern -- the HSB pin number 26 needs to be removed.
Data East -- remove HSB pin number 26, and make a link between +5V and B+.
Williams -- some games use larger RAM circuits. To be able to use this NVRAM, add resistor 1.5k on R93, and remove O ohms resistor on W3.

Gottlieb image caption edit

Why did you revert the edit to the caption on the sys80 page? Was it in place for a particular reason that I may have missed? --ForceFlow (talk) 17:42, 9 November 2016 (CST)

I rolled that back because either Palson or I put that in there to add a bit of levity. I like to insert an "easter egg" from time to time to make the document more readable. I was going to list the reason when I rolled it back but the darned roll back feature doesn't allow that. It just rolls the change back.

It wasn't me. Not my voice at all. That has Hibler written all over it. I RARELY add commentary.
