ipdb.notes
IPDB An unknown (small) quantity of Gottlieb's 1979 'The Incredible Hulk' (Model #433) games were experimentally built with the then-new Gottlieb System 80 MPU platform and called Model #500. This new platform provided more functionality, allowing for more solenoids, lamps, and switches. Model #500 had attract lighting, a strobing High Score To Date, and a third coin slot. Reportedly, there are four known examples held by collectors. We do not know if these prototype Hulks are included in the Model #433 Production Run quantity of 6,150 units. The first of three games pictured here has Sample serial number 01447 S. This number is stamped in the wood of the cabinet just above the shooter gauge and also appears on stickers affixed to the power supply and driver boards. On the top of the backbox, this number has been "over-stamped" in ink, as 00447 and as 01447, without the 'S'. Probably 00447 was stamped first, in error, and had to be corrected. The inside of the backbox appears to be a standard System 1 backbox. The power supply is mounted on metal "standoffs" that connect it electrically to the backbox grounding. The prototype Driver Board pictured has a sticker in the upper right corner with "SYS II" hand written on it. Diagnostics via the coin door test switch are identical to later System 80 diagnostics. Some of its circuit boards pictured here are known to be replacements and are not original. We have marked them as such and included them, in case questions arose about them, and until such time that pictures of original boards are received by us. The second game has Sample serial number 01443 S stamped just above the shooter gauge (picture not shown here) while the top of the backbox is ink-stamped 01443, no �S�. The game was at auction so we were unable to obtain specific images of inside the backbox to compare with the first Sample game. For the third game, we show a picture of the Sample serial number 01442 S stamped just above the shooter gauge. We have no specific information on the circuit boards that we show inside its backbox. See the Files Section of this listing for a transcript of an email discussion of Model #500 which includes references to some of the pictures shown here. Pictured in this listing are three images of a backglass presented to us as a prototype having no gray paint masking on the reverse side thus it doesn't have the silkscreened words such as "High Score to Date", "Game Over", and "Tilt". This glass appears to be mounted in a backbox but we were unable to verify whether or not this glass came from the factory mounted in a game and, if so, if its MPU is System 1 or System 80 to know if it belongs in this listing as Model 500. Without more information available to us, we have marked these backglass images as Alternate Artwork and we show close-ups of two areas where the colors were indeed different than the production backglasses. used
