So I bit the bullet and grabbed me a DE GnR- Thankfully, it didn't turn out to be AS rough as I thought it was when I first saw it. It IS incredibly dirty, though.
My question: where to begin? I'm assuming cleaning- and I'm even going to further assume a complete "de-population" of the playfield- a completely through clean?
As the machine stands currently it was suggested by the seller to NOT plug it in. There is a loose leg on the board where a resistor used to be which brings me to my next question: when it comes time, should the board be entirely rebuilt? or can I get away with piecemealing the components one by one?
Any and all suggestions from the forum are greatly appreciated by me
