Potential Comet club member based on the current members thoughts on the condition of this game. Background on it, it was my buddies mother's and has not been played in 15 or so years. It was in her bowling alley and moved home after they sold the business. Things I am seeing with my limited knowledge, needs shopped badly, bands are falling off. It will turn on but not launch a ball. 3 of the displays do not work. If I move the cable from the working one the others will work but display segments are out. I found a number of connectors unplugged, plugged them in with no changes. Found a burnt connector on the board and gets warm when powered on. Also cannot find what this connector goes to. She wants 400 for it. I am not afraid to fix it but I don't want to pump more money in it than I could sell it for when I'm tired of owning it. See pictures and let me know your thoughts.

Yeah maybe but my knowledge is limited to what I learn on here. Don't want to get in too much over my head.

Any thoughts on that hot connector? Anyone see that before? Or how about that loose connector?

I am sorry, I don't understand the connector repair.

I have not yet. Still waiting to hear back from her. If I did but it shopping it and making sure it played was first thing. Displays last for sure. Just not sure what direction I would need to go with the not starting and board issue.
