Upgrading sound from first Super Chexx model?

[scrapple]

I heard through the grapevine that you can upgrade the sound board from the old sounds to the new sounds.

Anyone know the process?

I heard you have to send your board to ICE?

Hi Blaaze here,

See this website for info,
www.pinrepair.com/arcade/chexx.htm

But i think if you contact ICE direct, they should be able to tell you
if your board can be upgraded or not,

Once your in the above website, look for this section, this is the part that should concern you:

Chexx CPU board General Information.

( Above is an Ultra Chexx logic CPU board. The newest (2001 and later) Super Chexx CPU board is just slightly different than this board. Basically the same board, but there is a small daughter board with two 27040 EPROM chips and two TTL chips to support the additional ROM. The newest version of the Super Chexx CPU board with the daughter board which appeared around 2001 has much better sound and speech (hence the bigger ROMs to hold the improved sound/speech). On the newer CPU board for example, the U.S. national anthem is much more clear and doesn't sound like the singer is sick(!), as in the earlier Chexx and Super Chexx games. Also on the 2001 and later CPU board version the Buffalo Sabers hockey team's announcer was hired to do voice overs for the latest Chexx CPU board's sound. The older square 1993 and later Chexx CPU board can be sent back to Chexx and for about $100 they will upgrade it to the latest version. Unfortunately the first generation long and skinny CPU board can not be upgraded. )
