Need an A08 board to drive that $450 Super Topper

So, here is your chance...... There is a seller offering every type of top Video monitor for the Bally. What ever is your desires, there it is. I myself have been searching awhile for the super topper. A few will testify to it. You will never see these again at that price. As soon as they popped up , I grabbed it and a spare. There is still more, you should grab one. almost $300.00 under cost. you will never find one cheaper than these. Plus the seller is a top notch seller that stands by his products. what more can you ask for.

Just my view.

Jeff, LA Slots also has the driver boards. I got mine from them. I deal with a guy named Betto 1-310-297-9797

First they said they have the correct driver A08 driver board, but then they said they didn't. Topper LEDs won't work correctly without that board, will just constantly flash different colors. So while the super topper may be a good buy, without that board is just an expensive top monitor with a super candle.

Yes, i have seen that LA slots offers that toppers via Ebay. But i guess for a Bally Alpha 2 V22/22 the best choice will be a 15" screen...?

Generally: Does anybody have the correct contact informations from LA slots? A time ago i have contacted with Betto from LA Slots as well; but suddenly no more
response from him and the other guys on my mails (they all came back with an error).

Thanks and many greetings,
Dennis

So Bill, where can the driver board be found? LA Slots says they don't have them.

gunnerbill · « **Reply #27 on:** April 06, 2016, 09:33:47 AM »

@ Jeff
LA Slot had them at one time. So. They may be out of stock at the moment. Just be patient. They will show up or become available soon. Personally. I would just buy the monitor and search for the card. The monitor is hard to find. I know I am the worst for saying be patient. But the cards will show up.
@ peachpit
I have seen the 15" video topper. It is very small. If I had to recommend anything, I would definitely pick the listed 20" or the 22". As Jeff stated about the LCU card. You will need that. And in time, they will show up. Plus, I believe that the A05 card will run all (15", 18.5", 22") video topper except for the Wave, super topper, hammer and the hybrid 21.5" video toppers. These require the A08 card. If im wrong, Please correct me.

Yep, thinking about snagging one, just hate seeing it sitting in a box as a boat anchor.

gunnerbill · « **Reply #29 on:** April 06, 2016, 10:07:33 AM »

Doesn't have to sit in the box. Get it & mount it. Video and candle will still work. Just leds will flash.

Oh, like it would be unintended attract mode then. Probably drive me nuts.

rickhunter · « **Reply #31 on:** April 06, 2016, 10:40:10 AM »

When I had my wave topper before I got the correct driver, I just left the LED cable unplugged, so it wasn't lit, otherwise, it was an annoying set of flashing lights of all kinds of colors and just a mess.

idesign · « **Reply #32 on:** April 06, 2016, 10:45:19 AM »

Rick, you use an A05 board for yours?

peachpit · « **Reply #33 on:** April 06, 2016, 10:46:26 AM »

@ gunnerbill: Will i need that LCU (AO8) card for a 15" screen as well? Or only for the big ones like the 20" screen for example?

Thanks a lot, Dennis

gunnerbill · « **Reply #34 on:** April 06, 2016, 10:48:02 AM »

It wasnt that noticeable. Plus your not looking at it that long. Im not sure how the super will act. At first I had a 18.5 topper and then swapped out for a 22" wave topper (newer style).

peachpit · « **Reply #35 on:** April 06, 2016, 10:53:29 AM »

IÂ´am a little confused right now

What do you think will be the best choice of that lcd-topper for a Bally Alpha 2 Pro V22/22 machine? The 15" ? The 20" ? Or that 22" wave topper that LA Slots offers right now as well?

gunnerbill · « **Reply #36 on:** April 06, 2016, 10:58:29 AM »

@ peachpit

I believe that for the Wave, super topper, hammer and the hybrid 21.5" video toppers.
These require the A08 card.
I think the super topper is really attractive. But the wave topper is the best. It has a slant forward that I find reduces alot of glare

peachpit · « **Reply #37 on:** April 06, 2016, 11:07:35 AM »

@gunnerbill: But will the wave topper work with a V22/22 machine if i have that AO8 card?

gunnerbill · « **Reply #38 on:** April 06, 2016, 12:06:11 PM »

Yes, the wave monitor will work with the v22/22. You need the A08 LCU. as it was mention before. The wave monitor I have has a notch on the base. And required alittle fabrication in order to fit flush on the cabinet. Just alittle info for that wave topper. It is heavy. But it has a solid support. The 18.5 topper that I had before was light in weight but the mounting base was plastic. making it a little flimsy. When opening and closing the door, the video topper would shake. But once you mount it, it shouldnt matter. No body will be touching it.

HEAR-YEE... HEAR-YEE....

"LCU Guide to Toppers" ........

"Red, Blue, Green... Red, Blue, Green" issue is a lack of proper firmware. The R,B,G sequence is an error code of an I/O device being "offine" (Not communicating). WAVE Toppers and PRO LED speaker boards require Level A05 (or newer). "A05"'s are NLA and supersede to the "A08" board.

Here's the PROPER information you'll need when calling around for the LCU board... The used ones Larry has/had are Bally PCA212710. They will accommodate firmware upto "A06". Jumping up to an "A08" Flash requires additional data buses for the "Crown" Toppers, etc (There are 3 separate boards in that Super Topper that require DATA inputs). Thus a DIFFERENT board number. Bally PCA245970 is the CORRECT part number you want to give for a board with an AXDUOABZL020A08 Firmware Flash. The boards are BLACK, not green.

Hope this helps....

..... And yes, The Super "Crown" Topper is a boat anchor without the "A08" to drive it.
