520-5136-16

does anybody has a clue??

Good luck. Hard to come by these days.

Have one missing in the game?

why is there no reproduction for these?

If it's a sound issue you can buy a pinsound board to bypass that. You can also work with your distributor to get stern to repair it for a fee.

I agree there needs a be a repro board because you cannot find them for sale and they're not easy to repair

The board is missing, so I need a new one...

If I cannot find one, i'm forced to create my own

I called stern a while back and they said they are producing some, but no estimated time of completion.

Need one as well for a client. Board is the worst corroded board I've ever seen from modern era.

So nobody has a used board laying around?... It must be that somebody has a spare board...

There are solutions to work around this problem, that's why there is a 520-5300-00, its does not have the BSMT2000 chipset...

You are assuming everyone on Pinside sees your thread. You should create a wanted ad in the Maketplace to aid in the search.

There are some out here. People that do have extras won’t part with them as if they would need it in the future where would they get One. I have 1 extra board and I’m keeping it just Incase. Hopefully you can find one.

How interesting. So, this is what the board looks like. I have one, but someone had removed U8 for an unknown reason and damaged a few solder pads.

That's the chip that goes bad and ruins the sound. I may desolder mine and solder in a new one to try and fix mine. Problem is the legs are sooo tiny

Looks like it is a flash ROM chip according to the pinout on the board. Definitely, something I would only attempt at replacing under a 10x magnifying glass.

So you really want the machine to rise? That sounds a bit dangerous.
