_ New Orleans and Louisiana use the same board sets / If I remember corr4ectly this post was on rec.games.pinball _

I have a couple of New Orleans games, one that doesn't power up and one that boots but doesn't seem to play.

I managed to contact someone at Sirmo in Belgium who tried to help me out.  They didn't have any info on New Orleans, but he scanned the
service manual for Louisiana for me and sent me a pdf.  He said these used the same board set.

The Louisiana pdf is on my webiste if you want a copy.  It is in French, but the schematics have mostly english text, though they use
different terms for voltage (pressure) and such.

I was lucky enough to later find an English manual and schematics for New Orleans on eBay, along with a full set of boards (all for $12!).
I haven't had a chance to do anything with the games since getting the paperwork.  My experience was all EM when I got these games and
Clay obviously does not have a Sirmo repair guide so I didn't get too far.  I was able to get into test mode but had a hard time
interpreting some of what was going on.  I'm hoping to find some time to look at these again now that I've done a lot of SS work, but
they're not high on my list of priorities.

I find this one pretty interesting, these Bingos are years apart in release`

So, how about Louisiana 2001
