Got about 8 more hours on this game into the rectifier board.
New headers, fuse holders, bridge rectifiers (35A/400V), CR1-CR4 (now 1N4007), and R3 (1/2 Watt).
All of the upgrades were done too.
Before and after pics...
TopJimmyCooks:
make sure your new connectors are compatible with locking headers. not all molex housings are.
smartbomb2084:
The NON-locking OEM connectors (which are being re-crimped wit new contacts) work fine on these locking headers. When you use Locking connectors with these headers you practically have to rip the pins from the board to remove them.
I like to use the locking header with the OEM non-locking connectors because it helps to eliminate mis- connections by acting as an additional 'key'...that is... you can only put the connector on one way even if the connector key plug is missing.
Does that make sense?
TopJimmyCooks:
That works if you repin them upside down. I hate locking connectors too and they're not original to bally -35. no biggie,you're on top of it. just looked back at the op and realized you weren't asking for help. TJC out! 8)

The Lamp Board is done now... another 4 hours... that makes 3 out of 4 boards complete.
Still working on the MPU...
Here's a pic of the Lamp Board component side.
New headers and new MCR-106's.. also 12 new 2N5060's... and 4 resistors.
Plenty of Clear Nail Polish covering the exposed traces...Thanks TJC... ;) ;)
If this board works ... it'll be a small miracle. Stay Tuned....
