BSD owner here! Got project one a few weeks ago. Got it torn down, cleaned it up, bullet proofed the boards, and its playing great now. I love this game.

Quoted from weaverj:explain? i'm having gi issues, plan on replacing j120 and 121. i think those are the #s. what else you do?
I........
repinned all current carrying plugs male and female in the back box. This included burnt up GI plugs
installed NVRAM
new filter cap for the 12v unreg
fixed leaking caps on opto board
rebuilt the hv section of the display driver
some more stuff i can't think of...
literally i took every single PCB out of the game one at time. Reviewed schematic drawings. Rebuilt anything that i thought needed it. Mostly connectors.
Quoted from lpeters82:Few questions:
1) I'd like to not have Extra Ball as a Mystery Award (or seldom). Is there a way of doing this without affecting the other extra balls?
2) Can someone explain the "Left Ramp Time" setting? Is this the setting for consecutive loops? Should this be reduced to 5-seconds?
3) Would it be crazy to have the Castle Ramp settings as follows: First Bonus: 2, First Bats: 4, First Mist: 6, Other Bonus: 6, Other Bats: 6, and Other Mist: 6? If I'm thinking about it correctly, every other ramp shot would reward something; starting with bonus, then bats, then mist...repeat. It just seems easier to explain to guests. Thoughts?
Put the game on tournament mode. It makes the random awards static. I havent seen it award an extra ball from it on tournament mode, if it does, it doesnt do it until a large number of mysteries awards.

Quoted from Gorgar666:It’s probably a good idea as a back up replacement but I don’t like those surface amount. Until I get the original repaired.
The chips have redundant set of through holes. With sharp flush cutters you can snip out the SMT chip leaving a fresh set of through holes (can be replaced with no desoldering!). The current limiting resistor load has been spread across many 1w resistors to help dissipate heat better. What normally kills these boards is the 12v filter cap leaks and rots away traces. That electrolytic cap has been replaced with five 22uF MLCC caps that will likely never fail. Automated assembly helps keep the costs down and to have a big library of boards.
