Outside Edge is doing hardtop of Black Knight. Not sure when it is going to be released though.

Just joined the club. I have my work cut out for me.

The lack of wear is weird. I’m happy it’s just mostly dirty, but I agree that the normal places are not there. I say weird because the rest of the machine is trashed, smells bad, etc.

I have hope. Did some test cleaning.

So the boards have quite a bit of alkaline damage and I’m just going to start clean with kohout.

I wanted to figure out how long the batteries were in there, but they are so old that they don’t have a best used by date.

Had to base it off the logo. Energizer used this logo from 87-93. So potentially 30 year old batteries.

I think this part may be the whole assembly and it’s in stock. I would email them or call to confirm. Some of my the parts references on marco seems to be not complete.

I have this in my rehab thread but thought you guys would appreciate this. I had to completely rebuild the insert. Wherever my Black Knight set for the last 30 years, it was damp. So it corroded all the sockets, staples, and made the insert swell. I stripped it clean and screwed it to a new sheet of MDF and then used that as a template.

All new sockets and wiring.
