Indiana Jones to Demolition Man games have two LM339 opto boards
From Indiana Jones up to Demolition Man, both the under-playfield opto board and the trough opto board carry LM339 comparator chips, so either can cause opto faults. Starting with World Cup Soccer 1994 the LM339 chips moved to the under-playfield board only and the trough board became much less trouble prone.
