Only? Really?

ChadTower:

He has a few good ones but the only other one I would call truly great is High Speed.

ChadTower:

Recapped the sound board... ran into a little confusion as recapped here... then put that main filter cap in backwards and blew my only two 4A fuses... possibly toasted the cap...

That's what I get for working barely awake.

ChadTower:

Replaced the 40 pin female connector on the driver board.  There was some corrosion underneath it, and a little bit in the row of resistors below, so I gave that the usual light sanding/vinegar wash and it's all better now.

Pics will be coming, just haven't had time to get them cropped and shrunken yet.

ChadTower:

Replaced the solder on all connector pins on the driver board... replaced both sockets on the sound board... popped them back in, no change, which is good in this case since I didn't expect any.  Still plays mostly but most sound and all speech is gone.  At least I know I probably didn't make anything worse.

Next is to pull the CPU, replace the critical headers and any others that look crappy, and all sockets.  Maybe the 5101 ram since it boots into audit mode half the time.  Pull the speech board, replace those sockets and maybe the volume pot, and then the power board to cap it and replace all connectors on that one.  Then I start shopping out the switches under the playfield - hoping those things will clear up all the oddities in play.
