_ Sirmo Miss Americana _

 

The three known versions of this game are all very similar and it’s my guess that they use these same pcbs and modules`

 

 

Anyway, this will help get us started`…an upper-case Triple Bonus

 

One day Larry and I were talking, and he had his Bingo opened and wondered if I wanted any pictures`…smile`

Now this first image of the CPU answers an important question for us`…how the Belgium guys will also refer to these machines as Miss America

Here is the start of the Sirmo Miss Americana triple bonus break down and how they work in American....LOL....As you can see 9 steps with 4 colors..now uncovered we see # 47 lamps with standard Bally sockets. In the closer view you can see the 4 Stars on the Extra card (Orange Scoring)  also note the missing 4 Digit board...Here it is..the front is 4 ea. Man6760 led displays mounted on the pcb 44 board...As we fold down the front we see the 5 motors that drive the slides for the numbers that move horizontal.  Finally in this e-mail here is a look at the "Magic Motor" driver board (pcb34 A) this board takes data from the Mpu board thru the 16 pin dip ribbon cable at the bottom of the board. The relays at the top drive the motors. Please note that in close-up board is rotated 180 degrees..T-1 thru T-5 are triac's or 50vac switches. Once triggered a triac will drive a motor until the ac circuit is broken....

Ok... Here we see the dip switch board (pcb 42) used to program the features of the game...it plugs into the I/O board (pcb 28) but gives addresses to the cpu program...To the left of the dip sw.board is the sound board (pcb 072) lower plug goes to the sound coil ...upper plug is power and the driver signal.  47jpg is of the I/O or interface board (pcb 32c) which shows the driver transistors(2N3771) on the right side... TO-3 cases except the bottom two which are regulators. The wiring to the left is part of the lighting matrix...on left are the cables that go to..J5,,body board......J7,,Dip switches

Notice how this is the Lower Card version of the game from that same Era

 

Basically the same CPU, but a slightly different version`…check the eproms and daughter card - etc`
