Pole Position II -Glad I Didn't Buy a Lottery Ticket

Mike A:
Well I started pulling, cleaning, and reseating chips one at a time. It appears this guy was causing problems. I have a good solid picture again. We will see how long that lasts.

I am starting to work on my spare Pole Position 2 board. This chip is garbage. Two legs are broken. How do I go about getting a new ROM chip? It is 52XX.bin I think. is there a professional service that flashes ROM chips or is the equipment cheap enough that people do it on their own? I don't know anything about this.

If that's a Namco custom, you're SOL. You'll need to find a board to harvest one from, or just get on the Multi Pole Position waiting list. You could also try resoldering new legs onto the chip as well.
Mike A:
My board has the Atari Pinout.

Could you point me to instructions for soldering new legs onto a chip?

Thanks Yotsuya.
Mike A:
I checked out a video showing how to replace a broken leg. It looks straightforward enough. I am going to give it a try when I get home from work.
