Re: Taito F3 Motherboard Repair Log
Nice read Elgen,
Re: Opto's, Sega used these in almost everything they built. The reasoning behind it, gamers had figured out 'shocking' the coin entry and/or joystick inputs would sometimes rack up random credits, costing the operator money.. A common tool for this was the 'electric lighter starter', when stripped from its housing, it can send some current down the metal parts of the coin entry/coin door.. and voila, free games
(Everthing from Sega system 1/2/8/16/24 to system32 has this protection. Even bootlegs seem to have this duplicated most of the time.)
