Correct. I suspect this sound board was planned for other things other
than Space Fury (Space Disc Launcher, or whatever that game was supposed
to be, or BattleStar if that was ever a game...)

Other than from what the schematics say. I have seen boards labeled
"Meatball" vs "Eliminator", and have noticed, on rare occasion, random
differences between resistor values from one board to another. But as I
said, they do not make a real audiable difference (to my ear at least), so
I just treated them the same.

ie, if you are considering modifying a board to match Zektor schematics,
it isn't worth it.
