Just my first old machine. I popped my cherry with a 2003 Stern Simpson's last Nov.

If your so worried about the look of the resistors, why not just replace them? Any Williams pin that I have owned, I have replaced the resistors with 5W ones. They handle the heat alot better than the resistors originally put on Williams boards. Cost is alot less than $300!!
:dizzy:
Pinball Wizard:
Come on guys! I was going to sell him my System 11 board out of my High Speed for $400 and let him be happy! IN all seriousness the resistors are fine the way they are. Plenty of System 11 games are browning on most components from all the heat. The labels in my High Speed are all dark from the route days of the machine.

I've noted that that "ceramic" on many of those seems to be worn away and almost gone. Can I assume that, that is going to eventually cause me problems?

If the ceramic is gone, they are not going to be good for long. The ceramic helps with displacing the heat and a hot spot will be created if there is no ceramic. Hot spots burn out resistors and also make nice black, burnt spots on boards.
Do you self a favor and spend a few bucks and replace the resistors with 5 watt resistors. Parts Express I believe sells these at a pretty good price.
Q*Bert_OP:
NOS board? That battery holder's not original...it's one of the new light colored ones, the originals were brown-ish. I question the authenticity of the "NOS" statement.
Suppose it is, and that battery holder has been changed...these shipped with batteries...if the originals leaked, the holder's been replaced, and most likely has had traces repaired...making the NOS part price pointless...
Seriously, replace the resistors, and do not buy a R-tt-nd-g board! They are heavily flawed pieces of :censored: that rarely work out of the package.
