Yes, you are not hallucinating, we have successfully cloned our first GPKD 10788. It is avalaible now from this site. As an icing on the cake, we now use Xilinx Spartan 7 series FPGAs to make the cloning. They are literally gorgeous. It is a real pleasure to write VHDL for them. And besides, we added a wifi interface as a very super feature. It will turn your pinball into a wireless device that you can connect to your computer, and let you observe various things about its internals.
PPS4 systems from Rockwell, also called spider chips, have been used in many complex designs, including early U.S. space shuttle. Unfortunately, they vanished from the surface of earth, as time fled by. Then, it became almost impossible to repair such systems. This is no longer true. Here in Vittel, France, we manufacture perfect clones for these little spiders. This is now possible to replace a dead spider chip by our own solution (A1752, A1753, 10696, 10788, etc...). Our products are pin to pin compatible with the original components. It becomes so easy to repair Gottlieb System 1 pinball machines! We are happy to share all the required material to reproduce any PPS4 or PPS4-2 peripheral. You can freely reproduce our solutions on your own, or directly purchase them on the store below. A1752xx, A1753xx and 10696 are currently available. Don't wait.

What is WiFlip? WiFlip is a new set of features. They come for free with any spider clone of our conception. The main goal of WiFlip is to make your pinball communicating with your computer through wifi. You will be able to diagnose the CPU board by observing various signals from your PC. For example, you can test the switch matrix of the pinball. You may also set the configuration dip switches “digitally“ instead of having to access the real dip switches located inside the pinball. Dispays are duplicated on the PC, in real time! and many other features!
