Roulette circuits 40 years old

Hello to everyone who is interested...
Please allow a few words to explain my issue:
By profession I never had anything to do with electronics.
But since childhood I was interested. Build some simple Things.
And about 40 years ago I built a Roulette Game.
My wife was not overly enthusiastic about it because the
big thing (70x70cm) lay on our kitchen table for some month.
I designed it with little 6 Volt lightbulbs behind
a grafical drawing on translucent paper between 2 glass plates.
Controlled it analog/digital with TTL-logic/Transistor/Diode circuits.

About 10 years ago, to stay fit with electronics,
I replaced the light bulbs with LEDs and
changed the analog power supply with a switching power supply.
Tried a few times, everything seems to work.
Put the whole thing into the cellar again.

Now, just out of the cellar, it does not work flawless anymore.

I found simulIDE some time ago and I am enthusiastic about
this awesome "toy" for an almost 80 years old guy interested in electronics
and I started to built my old Roulette Game in simulIDE.
And after some time the first circuit (from 4) works just fine.
But on the other circuits are some parts which I have not found
in simulIDE

Rotary switch (manually) (Not so Important)
IC HD7420P
IC SN29764/LM1017
IC SN7413

May be someone can kindly add some of the missing things to the simulIDE components.
I know that the whole thing would be much simpler to make with Ardu or ESP
but where would the fun be then ???

Thanks for your patience

Hi.

I think you can use some alternatives:

  • Rotary switch: Use a Switch DIP and configure:
        Exclusive
        Common Pin
  • IC HD7420P: You can use 2 And Gates, configure:
        Input Size = 4
        Invert Outputs.
        Input Low to High = 1.4 V
        Input High to Low = 1.4 V
  • IC SN29764/LM1017: You can use 2 OpAmps.
  • IC SN7413: You can use 2 And Gates, configure: 
        Input Size = 4
        Invert Outputs.
        Input Low to High = 1.7 V
        Input High to Low = 0.9 V 

Hello Arcachofo and thanks for your really quick answer.
Yes, I will certainly try your suggestions, but it may
take some time.
Last time I forget to send the overview, see Picture.
I will let you know about my progress.
