1971 Midway Stunt Pilot

Description: Stunt Pilot, Midway #548, 3/71, electronic sound (plane and siren noise). There is a Bi-Plane that is not visible until the game coins up and the black light turns on. The plane flies in a circle. In order to score points the plane must go over the mountain, under the bridge, under the arch and through the hanger. If it crashes, an ambulance comes out of another building, and runs around with the siren on. Player has up and down and speed control. Most people who play it think the plane is a hologram. The Bi-Plane is behind a two way Mirror. It spins on a motor with A "wiper" on a board that represents the obstacles. There is another board that has a buzzing sound for the plane engine and for the Siren. Also see Midway's 1971 Sea Rescue, which is a similar game.

I'm missing my Motor Speed Control board for Stunt pilot. If anyone has one for sale please contact me. Pic1, Pic2. I might have to make my own, parts needed (from left to right as looking at the component side of the board). Interestingly the schematics and the actual board are different!

  1. .01 uF 250 volt ceramic capacitor
  2. bridge rectifier PD20 (2 amp, 200 volt)
  3. 1k ohm 1/4w resistor (double check this value on a board)
  4. 1N5239 zener diode (9.1v 1/2w) or 1N4739 (9.1v 1w)
  5. 1n5624 diode (5amp 200volt) - not installed!!
  6. 470 Ohm resistor
  7. GE C106 (sensitive gate SCR - xref to RCA C106)
  8. 2N4871 Unijunction Transistor (UJT) or NTE6410
  9. 47 Ohm 1/4w resistor
  10. .1 uF 250 volt ceramic capacitor
  11. 10k ohm 1/4w trimpot (47k specified)
  12. 18k ohm resistor (10k specified)
