Paperboy project

ttooddddyy · Sep 8, 2005

Im thinking of making up a paperboy cab with bike handlebars like the original.
Used to enjoy playing it in the arcade as a kid.

Have not been able to locate a pin out for this game though, the original control panel has a pot fitted (see below).

Does anyone have a pin out or tech description on how the control hardware works ?

Great game - I still remember when this one first popped up in my arcade, "The Gold Mine". Man did that game used to kick my ass. I have it on a collection CD, but it's just not the same.

Anyway, sorry I can't be of help - good luck with your project.

It brings back fond memories for me too, Ive played it on mame but the controls are hard to get a grip of. Im shure a handle bar set up wouldnt be to difficult to construct. Need to work out the pots action, obviously an incremental turning cycle.

Thanks, I will keep an eye on that, I can pick one up for $75 elsewhere

Thanks for that, Im downloading it now

edit: it turns out that the steering pot is 5Kohm and there is a 60-14 tooth cog drive, same as for the accelerate/brake control.
There is no scematic but detailed exploaded views of the handlebar control mech which will be a big help.
