Quoted from viperrwk:
The Board to Be Repaired
This is the board to be repaired. It came out of a Sharpshooter. You can see this is a mid-MPU-2 board with the 12v reset daughterboard on it. This board has had previous work done to it. It is currently not working and not providing any flashes when power is applied to it. Additionally, there are numerous jumper wires on the board, the 12v reset daughterboard is broken off, and someone already replaced the factory ROMs with standard 2716 EPROMs.

Hey, That's my Board!!!
Viper did a fantastic job on this board for me, Just want to make a public thanks to him and let you all know
what a great guy he is, He offered to look at this MPU and see what he could do as these are pretty much unobtainium now. He documented every step to me with photo's and weekly updates.
This board just had a pile of hacks on it. It now functions great. Cant say that for my Solenoid board yet. I have
some repairs to do to that and my parts just came today.
But it sure is a great feeling bringing an old gameplan Sharpshooter left for dead back to life.

Quoted from Flippers_com:
Not unobtanium...
You can order a replacement MPU ($195US I believe) for either cocktail or regular Game Plan games from:

I was servicing these boards for years and was just about to release (schematics drawn was going to make first PCBs) when Jim announced his board. There was no point in two of us making the boards so I've been letting folks know about Jim ever since. Reasonable price, and no more corrosion issues. Jim sells around ten to twenty boards a year...

I did contact Jim first and he had a run of 40 boards all spoken for, I Had to go on a waiting list if another run was done. rumor had it that due to the scarce parts required there wouldn't be another run. so I was defiantly kind
of stuck. No fun having a nice unfix-able pin
Just got done replacing IC's in my solenoid board and my Gameplan lives!!

Post a video or it didn't happen!

Ok here it is, I am no video guy so let's see how this comes over

By the way this Sharpshooter is a nice fast playing pin for it's age, really impressed with its speed, like to pop
bumpers in place of the right slingshot, makes for fast action

here's the video
