Jeutel

1 Introduction

Jeutel made pinball machines from 1981-1986. Their machines where full sized and intended only for the French market, as they are 220V AC only, and only supported game speech is French. Jeutel also made video games, pool tables, darts and other arcade equipment, and are still in business as http://www.jeutel.lu/index.php/en/ in Luxembourg.

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 cabinets where generic, the same graphics where used on all the games. The cabinets have Jeutel written on the sides.

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 TMS 5110 speech chip (same as in the "Speak n Spell") with a AY3 8910 music chip. The score displays are the same blue/green 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).

Jeutel Pinball Manual (in French, does have a small section about settings in English, Translated version coming soon):

4 CPU Board

Jeutel Pinball CPU board. Only one known version of this board. But I have seen boards with all the chips socketed, and some where only a few chips had sockets. The board does have a ni-cad battery for keeping stats and some games settings. Like other games of the 1980's these batteries do fail and can leak. Super caps (1F, 5V) can be used as a replacement.

5 Power Supply/Driver Board

6 Sound Board

No on board test mode or switch. All tests are done via the game diagnostic. If speech isn't work it could be because someone had messed with POT3. POT3 controls the frequency of the speech chip, and the speed of the speech. If the frequency isn't within the spec of the TMS 5110 you won't get any speech. Turn POT3 to the middle before starting your debugging. POT1 controls the overall volume (in addition to the volume control on the coin door). POT2 controls the volume of the speech.
