Niwumpf replacement CPU board takes about 10 seconds to show scores
The Niwumpf replacement System 80 CPU board was offered only for a few games (Haunted House, Black Hole, Panthera, Spider-Man) and needs no battery. It waits roughly 10 seconds before the score displays light, against about 5 seconds for the original board, so don't mistake the delay for a fault.
