3 Technical Information

Jeutel appeared to copy many playfield parts from Bally and Gottlieb. Coils are copies of Gottlieb and the manual has a Jeutel to Gottlieb part number conversion. Parts like drop targets and pop bummers are copies of Gottlieb parts and most Gottlieb parts can be make to fit.

Jeutel utilized their own board design for all the electronics. The CPU board is a dual Z80 microprocessor based. The sound board is Z80 based, with a CD5101 speech chip (same as in the "Speak n Spell") with the Yamaha YM8910 music chip. The score displays are the same blue displays that Gottlieb used. Jeutel are 220V AC only, and require a setup transformer to use with 120V AC. All lamps are 12V 2W (#1813 is a close replacement), most other pinball machines use 6V lamps (#44, #46).

4 CPU Board

Jeutel Pinball CPU board. I have only seen one version of this board. But I have seen boards with all the chips socketed, and some where only a few chips had sockets.
