I have heard of folks using their dishwasher to clean PCBs. I have to say that the simple green seemed to really work. I used my leaf blower help dry everything. Your right, once the board is cleaned it's easy to see bad solder joints ect. Haven't looked at the main board stack yet, but the logic board has some damage, probably from the rats urinating on it. Have some rusted pads on the thing. Guess I should try some flux and solder to clean those up?

Got everything cleaned and painted and put back together again. The game is working except the optical encoder board is fried so I ordered a NOS one to replace it.

Cool. Let's have some pics. My son loves Turbo. I have a Monaco GP cockpit. It is similar, but just not as good according to my son.

Ok, here are some photos. You know I've never actually played turbo. I won't be able to either until I get the optical board in and the control panel back together. That's all I have left to do.
