old signaling unit for new electric saber

[Ram Freedman]

Hello

I have an old 3 weapon box (allstar universal signaling unit \'Club\' (foil,
ep?e, and saber)).

In the past I used it for all 3 weapons including Saber - but that was at
the time that electric saber was working with sensors.

As you probably know we don't use electric Sabers with sensors anymore .

Can I use the old signaling unit with the new electric saber method ?

The model that I have is:
Type: ATMS

NR: 91062

I disconnected the socket from my saber - and it works fine (at another club
that have a new BOX ) - but it's not working at my club with my box.....

It will be great if you could give me the exact way to do the necessary
changes in my Box ( i know it can be done....)

Best Regards,

Ram Freedman

The type you have is controlled by a microprocessor. These machines can be
updated to new Foil and Sabre timing and to shorted Sabres by getting a new
programmable memory chip from Allstar. I have heard that a university ordered
such a chip directly from Allstar.
