I have 2 boards out at a reputable board repair guy.. F-14 MPU & a Terminator 2 Dot controller boards. The Dot controller board was sent back to me as repaired but had the same issues after warm up. I sent it back & he says he hasn't had a chance to get to it or the F-14 MPU which has acid damage that he's had for 10 months.

So my question is... should I just go ahead and buy 2 new boards from rottendog and cut my losses? And are rottendog boards just as good as the original boards... would a color DMD work well with the Dot controller board?

Thanks for any input.

Thanks very much for all the replies! My plan is now to get the boards back from the repair person who has had them & send them to Coin-Op Cauldron. If he doesn't think the boards are repairable I'll just but Rottendog boards.

Chris H. emailed me and said he ended up repairing the Terminator 2 Dot control board but mentioned the F-14 mpu board was beyond repair. So I think I'm going to look for a good used F-14 board before I end up buying a rottendog board.

Is Ebay a good place to look? Or do any of you know some people that sell good used parts? Thanks again for all your posts.

Who is a good supplier of rottendog boards? I see they (Rottendog) will be not available for a while.

$350.. yikes. K's is out of stock.

I'm hoping this is a coincidence... when the game was working... there was a Rottendog MPU board & the game has full LED's.

I installed a new Rottendog LED display which works great. But now when a game starts... the ball will not kick to shooter lane.

Has anyone had this situation? Thanks

EVERYBODY STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING & LISTEN !! It was just a bad 3 amp fuse.
