Dude.

did you even look at the pictures of the main board?
The acid damage isn't bad compared to some pics I've seen but transistors are hanging on by one lead and the logic chips pins are bridged with corrosion and some of the some diode and resistors leads are corroded through also.
On the power-board one of the filter caps is busted so that needs replacing also.
I am not putting power to that mess.

If there’s anyone in the SanFernando Valley that wants to come over and help me.
Free pizza and beer and satisfaction of rescuing this super clean original Berzerk I found... that someone installed Frenzy boards into.
I have a complete board set for Berzerk to install in its place, but would really be stoked to have both on s toggle switch!
Obviously I can also compensate with more than Pizza and beer... I just don’t have the experience working on these old machines, and I don’t wanna kill it as my first attempt... it’s so clean and complete!

download the Berzerk manual and look through it as a start.
Does Frenzy work?

I'm resurrecting my Berzerk Resurrection thread.
yeah, this went nowhere for a long time.
Mostly because i really didn't have a spot to work and had to many other things to do.
currently working on the power board.
just picked up an actual Williams crt monitor from someone with a converted berzerk cab.
it needs work as it only has a white horizontal line in the middle.
research says needs caps.
the very nice gentleman who sold it to me also found all the original paperwork that came with Berzerk so I have that now also.
manuals, schematics for boards and monitor, instruction cards, warranty card ect.
stuff i can find online but it's just cool to have the originals.
it was funny because i was traveling out of town over the weekend and happened to be looking up routes in google maps and it popped up on FB marketplace in a place sort of on the way out of my set range so i probably would of never seen it.
(they are watching!)
this will still take a while to work my way through the board repairs but i've collected some good links on past restores and will link those so credit is given.

I regret selling mine, it was 95% restored and original, and it was beautiful.
Keep us posted, would love to see how this goes.
