At the expense on being rated ultra-picky: They don't look the same, they are most likely close.

Yes, I know. And I remember the discussions where people claimed it was wrong and in reality it would be more twoards "red". The issue is, that the girder colour depends on the blue level. The earlier radarscope schematics show a different amplifier stage than later dkong schematics for the blue channel. Lately I have seen pcb pictures of a conversion which had the same amplifier stage as dkong. Gives three possibilities:

a) radarscope blue level 1
b) radarscope blue level 2
c) dkong blue level 2

So those who insisted and put their hand into the fire that the girders where red may be right as well. Most likely there are two "truths" to the story.

Back to popeye: The hints you gave may be valid. The schematics show pullup resistors to +5V which are not accounted for in the current mame code. When I find time, I will correct it. You may as well open a bug on mametesters and assign it to me.

Regards,
