Why is the centipede setting out in the mud?
In the pictures ?
Level42:
Those were the pics that were sent to me by the seller. This one was really one of those "found in a barn" games :D
It looks amazing though !!!!
Was owned by a dentist who had it in his waiting room for a very long time :laugh:

Didn't go that far but I did read it 2-3 times to make sure I understood the logical process you used. Good stuff.

Went to pick up the 2 74LS90's I ordered yesterday and also got the matching socket.
Soldered it, put in the chip, power-up and YEAAEHHHH, it works :)
First (serious) PCB repair done 8)
Sure, I replaced a number of probably still good parts (some I can put back, the socketed chips I still have). But the bottom line is that it's working again, and it still cost me less than buying a working PCB. Far more important: the satisfying feeling of having it done myself AND having learned from it :)
Some pictures....(my "regular" camera was dead all of a sudden and is in repair now (warranty). So I took these shots with my old simple 2MPixel Fuji, and it shows.....ah well, I guess "you get the picture".....ahahahahahahaa (worst joke effort today)...
1st: No workbench, so this is my "professional" test set-up....my Mame/Jamma cab
2nd: The PCB with Jamma adapter (for sale, almost brand new !!!) ready for power up
