Ah, the high tech cutting edge. push button map of the city. As a yoof in the 70s, I'd say only about half the buttons ever lit up a place on the board.
Can an older fart, please confirm that it did work properly once?

I can certainly confirm that it did, ISC. I've mentioned before on this thread that as young kids we used to challenge each other to see who could get the most lights to work simultaneously using as many fingers as possible.
We definitely tried every combination of every button.
Simple games, simple times, although I guess you could call it an early digital app.

Always rushed to get the last bus at 11 pm.

It was a bugger if you had a gig or similar, as Sheffiled's night time economy, was just a mite limited, in those days.

West Ham away 1978 for two daft 14 year olds.. Me and Andy Broskom RIP, got a coach from the Lane and missed the last 85 to Anston, at 10.30.

The last bus going anywhere near was the 215 to Dinno, at 11.05, so we got off at Todwick and walked on the A57.

Heppy Days....
