If it's a cap, replace it :)
I also got some active parts with Bob Roberts' repair kit and I think even a resistor, but as these all are still working fine I see no point in replacing them. I keep them for spare...

Thanks! Hoping to finish it next weekend and putting it in the house.

Got some time to work on the Star Wars the last couple of days. In fact, it is now in the house.
I will get around to posting the pictures either later tonight or tomorrow, but here is what I accomplished:
- all three back pieces (top, Door and bottom) have been cut routed and installed (still need to paint it).
- Monitor shroud cleaned.
- New art on the Yoke and yoke board.
The kids were playing it tonight and after about 30 minutes, it would freeze. Hard to explain, but you would be playing and all of a sudden the screen would go black except for a few of the items from the screen, it would then continue, freeze, continue, freeze. Anyone seen this?
I have not rebuilt the AR board yet... could that be causing it?

Tough one, but there is a dip-switch that sets the game in freeze mode. You can advance screen by screen by pressing a fire button.
Check if it does that when it freezes. If so, maybe the dipswitch is making poor contact, or is not entirely into one of the end positions. I think there was a series of PCB with poor quality dip-switches, I think I read an Atari Service Bulletin about this....not 100% sure though....
