The linked guide from eh97ac is spot on in regards to tackling corrosion. Get a good size fiberglass burnishing brush/pen and physically remove the corrosion followed by the vinegar treatment. Be careful when burnishing or desoldering corroded areas/components as the corrosion can/does eat away at the metal material which can cause traces to fall off and through holes to fall apart. Such damage may be inevitable but usually can be repaired with a good stitch. I think both boards are viable candidates for rescue but to be honest you should consider the hours and money that will be needed vs. getting a new board(s). It shouldn't take long searching around to find a good system 3-6 MPU and Driver board for a fair price. If you have the tools and can solder well enough this can be a "fun" adventure project.

If you're looking for some inspiration I recommend this five part series of this Stern Galaxy - Extreme Repair.


There is a part that touches base on some decent battery damage as well and he brings it back to life. Educational and even entertaining video if you're into electronic/pinball repair.

Try running the solenoid test and see if any of them work. It sounds like you listed just about all the solenoids so it may be a open fuse. As for the flippers I highly recommend a complete rebuild kit like the one found here:

But I'm not sure how far/how much you want to invest into this pin as I could definitely recommend a few more parts if you would order.
As far as the credit score thing I'm actually not too sure at the moment. When player four scores does it 'score' on the master display board?
