Legacy sources disagree on label: 'Coin Button 3' versus 'Right Coin Chute'.

What would settle it

this machine's own printed switch matrix, no copy of which is currently retained, which names the three coin chutes by cabinet position, read against pinned S11_COMPORTS, which puts IPT_COIN1 on switch column 1 bit 3 -- that is public 4 -- and so numbers the chutes the opposite way round from the S11.VBS framework constant the legacy game record carries.

4 ROM sets resolve to this machine. Clones share the definition unless a hardware difference is listed.

Controller platform
pinmame.s11

PinMAME already reports logical active state. Do not invert again in the table — normally-closed is a physical fact recorded per switch, not a runtime transform.

Coverage

Partial

Real evidence exists, but authoring requirements are still missing or in conflict. Verify before shipping a table.

Completion13%

Progress is derived from the fixed author-readiness requirements. It helps rank unfinished work, but only a 100% author-ready definition passes the publication gate.

Rotating Beacons (Backbox)

Rotating Beacons (Backbox) Three rotating beacon lights (red, white, blue) plus F-14 model flames and retractable wings. Animated via BeaconTimer. Real machine uses motor (part 14-7946).

Overview

Legacy evidence identifies this candidate as Williams (1987). The information below is preserved for recreation work but is not automatically treated as validated physical-machine fact.

Playfield devices

Switch, lamp/GI, and controlled-device candidates are in the adjacent machine definition. Source-specific implementation notes are retained below.

Custom mechanisms

  • mechanism.beacons: Rotating Beacons (Backbox) Three rotating beacon lights (red, white, blue) plus F-14 model flames and retractable wings. Animated via BeaconTimer. Real machine uses motor (part 14-7946). [source: legacy.game.f14]
  • mechanism.upper-diverter: Upper Diverter (Launch Ramp) [source: legacy.game.f14]
  • mechanism.lower-diverter: Lower Diverter (Launch Ramp) [source: legacy.game.f14]

Ball-state transitions

Ball paths, trough ordering, locks, kickouts, and causal transitions have not yet been normalized. Relevant source notes follow under Evidence notes.

Controller interactions

Controller callbacks and bindings are candidate evidence only until reconciled against PinMAME and physical documentation.

Service and setup information

Unknown; locate operator/service documentation.

Timing and tuning observations

Source timing values may describe a particular VPX implementation rather than physical hardware and require review.

Recreation guidance

Do not treat this partial definition as a complete authoring specification. Resolve every coverage requirement and conflict before promotion.

  • games/f14.json#/_source/confidence_notes: High confidence on switches and coils from VBS + manual. Lamp descriptions reconstructed from manual OCR (garbled) cross-referenced with game adjustment text and known gameplay. Lamps L57-L62 have backbox bulb/filament treatment in VBS. System 11 A/C relay (sol 14) splits solenoids 1-8 between 'A' (mechanisms) and 'C' (flashers) sides. Flipper solenoid IDs (sLRFlipper=46, sLLFlipper=48, sURFlipper=34, sULFlipper=36) come from core.vbs. VPX table uses manual trough management (not bsTrough helper). SolCallback(2) uses dual-callback syntax 'doflyin:Sol02A'.

Unresolved questions

  • Is the I/O enumeration complete for every supported physical/controller variant?
  • Which inferred VPX behaviors reflect real hardware, and which are table-script conveniences?
  • Are all mechanism home states, sensors, motion constraints, and ball interactions documented?

williams-system11-48K defines the RAM layout this map’s offsets are read against — the map is not interpretable without it.

Evidence

Every claim above traces to one of these. When they disagree: a known-working VPX script wins on controller addresses and causality, the manual wins on wiring and construction, pinned PinMAME wins on emulator routing and display layout.
