If one or more of the LEDs on the mothership locks on, the 4094 chip at U2 or U3 may be bad on the mothership's PCB. U2 drives LEDs: 1-8. U3 drives LEDs: 9-16. Note that when replacing the chip(s), it is recommended to *not* use a chip socket, and instead solder the replacement chip directly to the PCB. This is because of all the motion and vibration of the mothership.

A screen shot of AFM "cow" video mode.


Cow video mode is achieved by...

  1. After achieving the cow ramp, a cow is lifted into the flying saucer on the DMD accompanied by a "moo" sound. Press the ball launch button several times.
  2. After achieving the lobster ramp, a cow is lifted into the flying saucer on the DMD accompanied by a "moo" sound. Press the ball launch button several times.
  3. Both ramps must be achieved in this way but the order of achievement does not matter.
  4. light the "Stroke of Luck" hole by achieving the 4 lower inlane/outlane yellow rollover inserts.
  5. Shoot the "Stroke of Luck" hole
  6. One of four "random" awards will be awarded.
  7. If video mode is awarded, cow video mode will start.
  8. Instead of saucers falling from the sky, cows will fall.
  9. All normal rules apply including the "smart bomb" ball launch button selection.
  10. When all of the small cows are dispatched, the "mother ship cow" must be defeated.


2 Problems & Fixes

2.1 Mothership

If one or more of the LEDs on the mothership locks on, the 4094 chip at U2 or U3 may be bad on the mothership's PCB. U2 drives LEDs: 1-8. U3 drives LEDs: 9-16. Note that when replacing the chip(s), it is recommended to *not* use a chip socket, and instead solder the replacement chip directly to the PCB. This is because of all the motion and vibration of the mothership.
