Texas Star Pinball???


Both of them are a train wreck.
Cost way to much to put them back together.
Better off buying new.
There was someone here, can't remember his name, that was collecting Texas star boards to build one.
Don't know if he ever did.
Just keep combining them together.......

What would it take to put two 1600 amps together? That's basically what Texas Star did. What would the input and output combiners need to be?

I have 2 old school Sweet Sixteens, I ordered the cases, and all the internals to make the Wizard, from RFParts years ago. Just one part can longer be found, its a special resistor. All the schematics are on CBTRICKS to make either of these. I lost interest years back, but am thinking of pulling it out again.

Wow...

At least they gave you means to "test and tune" to match each one equally to the others - like phasing.

What a nightmare!

1.5 ohm for WC Pinball
1.6 ohm for Viking 3

Talking about those resistors, it's been a while since I worked on a Texas Star, the last was a DX1600 in 2004. If I remember right those are the Bias resistors, I was thinking 1.8 and 1.6 ohm, maybe I am not remembering it right. I think I have some of those around here.
