Driver transistors Q1-Q4: relays and spare outputs
All MPS-U45. Q2 (far left) drives the Tilt (T) relay from CPU Z26 pin 3/4 via A1J5-5 and driver Z1 pins 5/7. Q1 drives the Game Over (Q) relay via Z26 1/2, J5-6, Z1 4/2. Q3 (lamp L3, often High Game to Date) uses Z26 5/6, J5-4, Z1 12/10, and Q4 (L4, often Shoot Again) uses Z26 9/8, J5-3, Z1 13/15; either can instead pre-drive an under-playfield 2N5875.
