I love these so much I bought two of them
This is one of the few great games of the past and it's nice to have the kit for it. HSS gives you the highest quality service plus the highest quality product on the planet. If you're on the fence about this one I say don't worry go ahead and grab it you're going to love it! Saving the high scores is fun and helps you to keep track of your progress of how well you do. Plus it's nice to have the free plate without having to pop in quarters or have the screen stay stagnant

6809E 8-Bit Microprocessor (40-Pin CPU) The 6809E is a powerful 8-bit microprocessor commonly used in classic arcade PCBs during the early and mid-1980s. This processor served as the main CPU for many arcade boards, executing game code, handling player inputs, and coordinating communication between memory, sound hardware, and video circuitry. Known for its advanced architecture compared to earlier processors, the 6809E provided improved instruction sets and efficient memory addressing, making it a popular choice for more complex arcade games. A properly functioning CPU is essential for reliable board operation, making the 6809E a common replacement component during arcade PCB repair and restoration. Key Features Motorola 6809E 8-bit microprocessor Standard 40-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) Used as the main CPU in many classic arcade boards Handles game logic, timing, and hardware communication Ideal for arcade PCB repair and restoration work Used In Arcade Games Such As Circus Charlie Juno First Track & Field Hyper Sports Star Wars Qix …and many other classic arcade titles Some arcade boards use the 6809E processor in conjunction with other supporting chips or adapters. In certain Konami systems, the 6809E can be used with a 42-pin Konami-1 adapter, which is included with some HighScoreSaves kits. Installation Notes Installs into a standard 40-pin DIP socket on compatible arcade PCBs Ensure proper notch orientation when installing the CPU Recommended for technicians performing arcade board troubleshooting or restoration *Can be used with a 42-pin Konami-1 adapter (included with some HighScoreSaves kits). *Manufacturer brands may vary.
40-Pin Socket Specifications This 40-pin DIP socket is designed for reliable installation of integrated circuits and arcade daughter boards that use a standard 40-pin layout. Using a socket allows the chip or module to be easily removed or replaced without soldering directly to the PCB, helping protect the board during upgrades, repairs, or troubleshooting. Pin Pitch: 2.54 mm (0.100″) standard DIP spacing Total Pins: 40 pins arranged in two rows (2×20) Mounting Type: Through-hole (THT) for secure soldered installation Compatibility: Designed for standard 40-pin DIP integrated circuits and modules Installation Benefit: Allows ICs to be inserted or removed without repeated soldering Use Case: Ideal for arcade PCB upgrades, ROM installations, and repair work The standard 2.54 mm (0.100″) pin spacing matches the layout used on most classic arcade PCBs and DIP integrated circuits.
