If you find one let me know. I also am looking for one. I replaced my servo motor thinking it was the issue but come to find out the chip is probably bad as it was corrupt from Sega and they never replaced them. To find one working is a diamond in the rough. I am surprised no one has made a mod for this so the head works again
Hi- i bought 2 boards and they both had the corrupt chip -hence no turning head- i am currently talking to a board engineer who says he can get the head turning left and right but not intermittent as it should-----i mailed TNT pinball in the states- he said Frank is going to make some new boards in the new year so all being well we will have a working head next year , your shipping will be cheaper than mine

Just interested to know how you have concluded the chip is corrupt? Have you access to another machine and tested them in a working machine ?
Just looked in the games manual and there appears to be four servo motor outputs.
I'd plug the servo motor into each output, looks like CN2 is the default

When I had a Frankie a few years ago the head wouldn't move. The previous owner had replaced the motor. IIRC I ended up switching the output wires around and boom .... he lived !

The wiring for sega servos is non standard and off the shelf motors need there wiring altered. Incorrect wiring can destroy the servo
