Lots of good stuff here if you own an early Williams Solid State Game! This material applies to the my favorite games, the Williams System 3 through 7 series of games - Hot Tip through Firepower II. Scroll down for the index to my repair guide for these machines, the original guide on the web for troubleshooting and repairing these classic machines. I've owned over 20 of these great games (and yes, I do own Hot Tip and Firepower II!) and I update the guides on an almost daily basis with new information and tips.
In addition to the repair guides, you'll also find schematics for most of the boards and ROM images for all of the games. I'll be adding a manual and instruction card section shortly.

Not your typical repair guide, but then again, these aren't typical machines! They defy normal logic when it comes to troubleshooting them, and I've tried to document and pass on most of my successes and struggles in troubleshooting and repair. The first five sections are currently available:
Solenoid Cross Reference for all games from Hot Tip through Firepower.
This is a one-page cross reference that lists all solenoid connections, driver
transistors and wire colors for all Williams Solid State games through
