No this is not what I wanted to happen

When I was on the Arcade Archive I found that manual. It basically just tells you how to install the kit into the game. It doesn't have a parts list or a schematic. Although thanks for helping.

If it's any help, there's a small local electronics store that sells resistor packages in SIP and DIP(?) configuration. I may be wrong, but I think the SIP configuration share common bus while the DIP has their own leads. If you can't find what you need, say at digikey.com or mouser.com and you know the values you need for both packages, I can try the store and see what they have to offer. I was checking their SIP packages out for a project before I realized that a SIP of 8 resistors cost more than eight individual resistors. Meh.

One thing you can do, though I would think it's ugly and hackneyed, is to buy individual resistors and solder them together. A cleaner method would be to solder them on a small daughter board then solder the whole shebang to the board. Still looks ugly, but it would look far less amateurish than a blob of resistors. But only do that if you know for sure how the SIP was configured.

I found a online store that sells 9-pin 4.7Kohm resistors (bussed) so I need to check the tracings and figure out if its that style. Only thing is its rated to 1.13 watts and I'm not sure if thats going to be enough.

Thanks for your help

I'd desolder that SIP first. Then measure the resistance with an ohms meter. It doesn't look like ALL the resistors are damaged.
There is one common pin, must be either on the left or the right side. Put one lead of the meter there, then touch all the other leads. You should be able to get a resistanve value that way, even though two or three may not work ok.

You should be able to get the SIP, but if it fails, you can easily create your own using single resistors.

I think Bob Roberts has a manual on his site....

EDIT....looking again at the picture, it MIGHT be hard to measure this one if the common is on the right side of the picture.........

smac666:
Ok thanks, I will try that tonight.

If you look at he picture the SIP above the badly damaged one has also taken a hit and that the black coating chipped off down to the metal. Both resistors are marked the same so that one is probably the same as the badly damaged one. So I can measure that one to figue out exactly what it is.
