Language Selection:
 
To select the language, pull out the logic board.  It is set low on the far
right side if you are standing behind the game cabinet.
 
Place the logic board with the component side up, and the biggest connnector
closest to you.
 
Now find location 8E, and look for two small squares, with two small circles
above them.  There should be a small wire or pin between each square and circle.
 
Depending on the language selection you desire, you will need to make an
incision using an exacto knife at this location between the square and the
circle.  You only need to make a small "V" cut into the wire.
 
   For English, no cutting is needed
   For French, cut only LNG0 (pin #8E-8)
   For German, cut only LNG1 (pin #8E-7)
   For Spanish, cut both LNG0 and LNG1 (pins #8E-7 and 8E-8)
