    If it ain’t broke should I fix it? TLDR should I send out working boards to the coin op cauldron or similar? Is there any value in bulletproofing original boards that are working fine?

    I have numerous games I consider keepers (TAFG, TZ, very clean getaway, etc. They all currently work great. I did replace ribbon cables to fix a sound issue and a 5v reset issue on TZ.

    These have original non hacked numbers matching boards with remote battery boxes or lithium batteries on the board. No burned connectors etc.

    Should I enjoy them in a home environment as is or is it better to get everything sorted before issues crop up with old capacitors etc?
