I've got a Middle Earth waiting for my attention. I remember playing one as a 16-year old kid. Looking forward to playing it again.

It gets through a couple of the tests, but not enough to start up a game.
I suspect it will need Aux board work.
One other game ahead of this one in the fix-it queue though.

Any recommendations for Middle Earth board work?

seeing pictures of your board with new caps makes me want to get mine going. I have no idea where to begin. I've checked the fuses, and they are correct.

ethan1082 and I are going to try to get Middle Earth playing.
The game will power on and start the tests.
Test 1, lamps light successfully.
Test 2, no coils fire except for flippers, which do work. While the coils are supposed to be firing, I think the credit display is also supposed to be incrementing with each coil. Mine doesn't change.
Test 3, I hear one successful "oink" sound when it begins, but then get no switch results when I activate them.
Test 4, the score and credit displays look good and show 8s, and then eventually clear.

Any suggestions for getting the tests to work properly?

I'm giving up on fixing this one myself. After 2 or 3 years of having it, I'm sending the boards to be repaired. I'll still be happy to play it if it works after.
