Help identifying components on a 70's schematic

wondering if anyone can help with something thats been nugging me for a while.

my pinball machine is supposed to have a tone board to produce the sounds you get when hitting targets, it was built in 1976 so was one of the early machines to use electronics in it, before that it was an electromechanical chime unit (solenoids hitting xylophone plates)

the tone board is missing from my machine, but i have tracked down the schematic, it's a copy from the service manual, but it dosent show all component values, B1 and B2 are the mains ones i cant figure out,

anyone able to have a look and maybe help me decide what those components should be, and also if the others need changing to modern equivelents?

if the schematic scan,

It's a very basic circuit i assume, runs on 28 volts, triggered by a 28 volt input on one of the 4 inputs to produce the relevent tone, i've been told they were kinda like chimes in sound, and not the beep/boops of bally machines of that era, but i've never heard on so dont know that for sure,

Failing identifying the components, how hard would it be to make something modern that would produce a nice chime like tone of a different frequancy for each input? were talking dings and dongs here like a doorbell, but 4 different and seperate tones from a low dong to a high ding,

i'm not going to attempt this untill i have my other project sorted (the change machine timer pulser module) just if i can identify the components i can get them ordered same time i order the ones for the other project.

The A1 (Hex inverter) is a 7404 chip. the B2 (quad 2 INPUT nor gate), chip is a 7402 B1 is a (dual 4 input nor gate), chip is a 7425 Those caps that aren't labeled. could be 1 uf each electrolytic. etc..

P.S. This circuit can be replaced by something more modern and fewer parts. But if you're trying to keep the originality of the circuit, have fun.

B1 is 7425 B2 is 7402

Oddly, B1 pin 3 is connected; but not pin 11; however, 7400 series TTL inputs float high.

The circut could be simplified and power consumption reduced using modern components.

For starters, I'd use a 3-terminal monolithic regulator I'd use 74LS, 74HC or 4000-series logic I might replace the TIP3055 with a MOSFET I might use a push-pull output

Since A2 is a 7493, I'd assume that B1 and B2 are also TTL parts. B2 then is a 7402 quad 2 input OR gate. B1 appears to be a 7425 dual 4 input NOR gate with strobe - but it should also have pin 11 connected to +5V. (pins 3 and 11 are the strobe inputs.)

B1 is a 7420 and B2 is a 7402.

shit, sorry it came accross as that mate, i was waiting for it to turn up on the usenet replayer, and it just has (says token timer in the bottom reight corner) i assumed your circuit was a 555 based one, hence i mentioned them in my last post.

i was going to build both circuits when i get the breadboard and components, i haddnt seen yours yet, but most definately had not dismissed it,

i really appreciate it, it looks pretty simple and does all i want,

so now i know what components i need, i'm going to get them ordered and build it, getting some 555's as well as i want to play with them... be nice to compare both compleated circuits, the 555 based one and the 40103 one.

i'm not fussed about my email addy really, i get tons of spam to it anyway, just i seem to loose a few genuine emails too, so was waiting for the schematic to be online rather than fart about having it sent to me, then it not turning up and all that. it's gazz AT kampenwagen DOT co DOT uk. by the way, but i regulary go over my host servers disk space allowance, and loose mails, then when it goes over the bandwith allowance i get nowt for the rest of the month... but at least when that heppens they bounce the mails, over disk space it just deletes them.

Ahh right, think i just about understand that, the tone board is totaly missing from my machine, just got the painted wire designations left on the wooden base where it would have gone,

i've just been up and looked at the base board of the machine, heres what is written where the tone board would go...

8 dots representing the inputs, from left to right.... 0, 28, (under those two is written '28V AC') next 2 are speaker output, then D, A, C, B, and under them 'Sound'

The machine runs all it's coils, target contacts etc on 28 volts, (can change the tap for the flippers and bumpers between 28, 30 or 32 volts)

the lights run on 7 volts AC,

it has a bridge rectifier in the machine, but that's used to run the solenoid coils for the flippers and pop bumpers to make them quicker and stronger than if they were run on AC apparantly.

may help a little or may not, bottom left of the base, that's the sound board, i can see some big (sand?) resisters, few largish capacitors, 3 ic's etc, also can see only 3 inputs are used for the tones even though the board can make 4, coresponds to the 3 input wires i have in my machine, 4th score tone is a large gong bell.

excelent, sorry for just assuming it was positive inputs to trigger the tones,

i've just taken some voltage readings on the wires, there's 30.1 volts AC between the 28 and 0 volt input, connecting the negative lead of my multimeter to the 0 volt wire, and the positive lead to one of the trigger wires, hitting the relevent score target results in a 30.1 volt AC pulse on that wire, it's the same on all 3 of the trigger wires, an AC pulse to trigger the relevent tone.

that seems to throw a spanner in the works :( or does it, the +28 volts goes to earth in the board, so could i have been reading a negative signal from the input wires by using the black 0 volt wire to complete the circuit? or have i just complicated thing even more by not doing the measurments right.

This circuit doesn't have any provision for ringing - i.e., it will make beeps and boops. You might be better off starting off from scratch - are you any good with micros? Otherwise, you'd have to come up with some damped oscillators.

Good Luck! Rich

ahh right, cheers for that,

i might have a go at building the board just for the fun and experiance of it, providing i can get all the parts,

im not really any good with much electronics stuff, can solder, make pcb's, and make a circuit up from a diagram, but never programmed any chips or owt like that, tho i am interested in learning how to, as there are a few little projects that use pics that i'd like to make.

would really like a ding dang dong sounding circuit, i could just track down a set of electro mechanical chimes, but i like the idea of the electronic sounds, not least because the volume can be adjusted for night time playing,

put RC low pass filters on the output of the binary counter so you get

4 triangle waves

swap the quad OR gate for a quad comparitor. scale the voltages from the input capacitors so they peak at the mid-point of the triangle wave and dip to just below the low point of the triange wave.

replace the quad and gate with a quad comparitor.

It probably won't sound pretty but the volume will decrease sort-of exponentially a bit like a gong.

simulating it in lt-spice it produces a wav sounds kind of like 'electric piano'

here's the asc. When run in ltspice it'll produce a file called pinball.wav which you should be able to listen to by clicking it.
