I had an issue with my Doctor Who restarting and traced it back to an old "repair" that had been done on the Bridge Rectifier and Capacitors. New holes were drilled in the board in one place, with two capacitors doing the job of C11, hot-glued to the circuit board, part of the copper tape pried up from the circuit board and soldered to the wires. A mess. I don't know how it lasted as long as it did.

I have the board, with the caps and BR1 and BR2 removed. I bought the BRs and the caps, but once I saw the board disassembled I decided to just buy a rottendog replacement board, which is in and working fine.

I have no use for the board or the replacement parts. Is anyone interested, or is it trash? I have no idea of how much it should cost.

A website says it's used by these games:

Addams Family, Addams Family Special Collector's Edition, Black Rose, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Corvette, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Demolition Man, Dirty Harry, Doctor Who, Fish Tales, Flintstones, Funhouse, Gilligan's Island, Harley-Davidson (Bally), High Speed II: The Getaway, Hurricane, Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure, Indianapolis 500, Jack*Bot, Johnny Mnemonic, Judge Dredd, No Fear: Dangerous Sports, Party Zone, Popeye Saves the Earth, Road Show, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Strike Master (Shuffle), Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Machine: Bride of Pinbot, The Shadow, Theatre of Magic, Twilight Zone, Whitewater, Who Dunnit, World Cup Soccer 94

PS. WHY ARE THESE GAMES ALL SO GOOD?????

It is not trash, someone will want it because Its fixable ... its a shame that someone attacked it like that... all of the .156 headers look great! I know replacing those caps is a challenge but ... yikes!

This doesn't look too bad. If it were me I'd fix it and sell the rottendog.

Headers can fool ya, look good but can have resistance from high heat damage.

I get that but there is no egregious thermal damage.

This may sound dumb but could you just use jumper wires and get a reset fix board to fix any low/high voltage on the 5 volt line?
