• Bally -133 question

    I bought a large pile of Bally -17 and -35, in this pile there was one -133 that had already been converted to become a -35. My question is: Did Bally ever put out a -133 mpu that had the normal -133 printed in white ink? The one I have is just after the AS-2518 (printed in white ink) it is stamped -133 in black with a non matching font size. TIA, Tim, Stillwater, MN

    Not a direct answer to your question and you may already know this...
    IPDB shows 5 games in the 1982-1984 time frame that used the 2518-133 MPU.

    I looked it up because I hadn't heard of the -133 and thought it might
    have been some type of prototype board.

    Typical Bally. They Didn’t have any 133’s on hand so they took a -35 and changed the resistor to a diode and put a -133 stamp on the board.

    There are lots of -133’s silkscreened in white. Hello Tim.

    Hi Jack, I posted that stuff today. I suppose they needed a few more than they thought and went down to the art supply store and made due.
