Ha ha. Cool. The equivalent rectifier at Fry's was like 8.40. Probably over priced, but I'm sure it's more than just spare change for you. So be sure to tell me how much more for the parts (and anything else you decide you need).
When I got the notification that you posted I thought "did the boards arrive already?". Wishful thinking though. Should be 2 or 3 more days.
TheShanMan:
Finished painting the lower front panel. Certainly no mirror finish, and with glossy paint the flash certainly draws attention to it's lack of mirror-ness, but it is good enough for me. Looks much better than before. I'm painting the top and back too right now, and when I get done with that I'll work on touch ups of the artwork panels.
Also cleaned up my coin box and took pictures. I notice that the box has 2 little slots in the front and back. Looks like this was to divide the coins from the 3 mechs? Dollars isolated in the middle and quarters on the 2 sides? Anyone actually have these dividers? Not that I need them, but I'm just curious after noticing the slots.

I had a chance to test the CPU board... both color RAMs were bad... 2C (RED/GRN) was dead dead. RAM 1C (GRN/BLUE) was also faulty, but not completely out as the color was good but faint black stripes on the color test screens were visible. When I sent the board off to you originally it did not have these obvious faults (I would have caught it... I would have had to had my eyes closed to miss this)...this was just a case of bad luck.
Gotta love 28+ yr old electronics that sit in a barn for a few years... never know whats going to turn up next.
:cheers:

Got the boards back from RA today (that guy is awesome). It works!!!!!!!!!! Now to adjust the leaf switches, hook the florescent light up to switched power, get the linear PS rebuilt so I can move the new switcher to my cyberball (it has a flakey switcher), and get the coin slots working.
