Lisy80: The ultimate tool for troubleshooting Gottlieb System 80, A and B (1980-1989)
Why the Lisy80 is a revolution in the world of pinball
What the Lisy80 replaces:
The Lisy80 replaces the CPU board of your Gottlieb system80 80A 80B pinball machine, including:
- The Reset Board , often a source of problems. Initially installed to prevent the original CPUs from locking up and burning the coils or transistors, it is often dysfunctional and causes bugs on pinball machines. With a Lisy80, it becomes completely useless.
- Ground problems , There are often ground problems with Gottlieb Sys80. Our card was designed to overcome this problem.
- Batteries that destroy your cards . The Lisy80 is a real computer, allowing you to get rid of batteries that tend to oxidize. Even with lithium batteries, you are forced to change them at least every 5 years and lose the scores that you have spent years achieving.
- The original troubleshooting modes , which were useful when they were released but are far from effective today.
- The complexity of troubleshooting a pinball machine for a novice . Troubleshooting is simplified thanks to the feedback provided by the web interface. In a few clicks, you can find out if the CPU detects the fall of a target thanks to the switch map.
The features provided by the Lisy80
Test Features
Switch Status Map

- In red the “Closed” switches.
- In green the “Open” switches.
For example :
- If switch 23 "Hole kicker" is red, this means that the board detects that it is closed, which can be actuated by a ball or a short circuit.
- If you move the targets down from the playfield and they don't appear red on this chart, there is a good chance that there is a contact problem with the target under the playfield.
Lamp control

In Gottlieb, most elements are controlled like lamps, including relays or coils. For example, the "Game Over" relay blocks or activates the playfield, and on the "Volcano" model, the "SAVE BALL" is controlled like a lamp.
Solenoid Control
Solenoid control allows you to easily test solenoids such as the "fire pit", the "Subway" or the "Knocker" with a single click. The Lisy80 sends a pulse to avoid burning them.
Display Control
This feature allows you to write whatever you want on the displays in order to test if everything is perfectly functional.
Dip switch control

If you want to change the rules of the games or configurations originally intended by Gottlieb, this menu allows you to control everything to your liking with descriptions of the features as originally intended.
Sound control

Allows you to play any sound available in your pinball machine's ROM.
Other features

It is possible to perform map updates via the internet. In the future, we plan to offer new features on the 80, 80A and 80B systems, because the Lisy80 map can be connected to the internet and is able to be used to do anything!
Why choose a Lisy80
The expert's boot
With all its features, it makes troubleshooting a pinball machine much easier. Whether you repair your pinball machine yourself or call a repairman, this card will save you a lot of time and therefore money.
Modern electronics
Our boards are designed with the most generic components possible, derived from mass industry. They are therefore approved on a large scale and are much less prone to failure. In the event of a failure, our components are very easy to find in stores and easily replaceable by any electronics repairer for a few euros. In addition, the Lisy80 board is a real computer, which will allow any functionality to be added in the future, but this is not mandatory.
The choice of open source
Our maps are based on the open source project www.lisy.dev by Ralf Thelen, which allows the whole project to benefit from the features we develop.
