Re: Unknown Pong clone in bootleg blue...

Fever was doing all the updates himself so I don't know where Sean F. E. (ie: Fever) picked up the pcb photos, but the photos do not match what is printed in the Chicago Coin parts catalogs.
TV Ping Pong by Chicago Coin 1973 description is a mistake by Fever.
(Chicago Coin TV Ping Pong board has two slide switches).
And Olympic TV Hockey/Olympic TV Football (pcb diagram in manual has 3 slide switches side-by-side). The parts catalog does not indicate what the slide switches do.
TV Hockey by Chicago Coin 1973
>and Chicago Coin's TV Hockey is an exact match, aside from the PCB color. Switch >placement is identical. No other Pong clone PCB photo I have looks identical. So it's >either an original or a clone.
I agree, but too bad that wherever Fever got the information years earlier when doing updates, that the information was not correct, but that is all Fever could go by at the time. The name could be TV Hockey, but it is not anything of a Chicago Coin product. If what was written on pcb is correct, of the photo Fever placed for TV Hockey, maybe it is a Amutronics product instead of Chicago Coin. I am not sure, but can say that what Fever used for description way back then is not correct.

The pcb seller also said the pcb he was selling also had TC on it.
