$20-$30 on the driver board. The MPU and power supply don't really have much value in an untested or non-working state. The interconnect harness might be $10-$20.

Yes, you will need to flee like Frankenstein's monster. I'm kidding. Maybe.

Generally speaking, the ideal approach is to repair a game to working condition, and most people prefer that any modifications that aren't stock to be easily reversible with no lasting damage. Chances are that you probably won't keep the game forever, and irreversible customizations would make the game incredibly difficult to sell when that time comes.

Aftermarket parts are perfectly fine. Replacement boards, especially for system 1 games that had a terrible boardset design to begin with, are fine as well.

Feel free to ask all the questions you need, and folks will likely point you in the right direction.

For system 1 game repair, there are two main central repositories of knowledge:

The biggest consideration for used System 1 boards is what condition the connector fingers are on the board. Often the fingers for the power connector J1 on the left of the CPU boards are worn the worst. Fingers are on the back of the board when installed. If the plating has worn off fingers considerably, not much value.

Physical condition is only half the issue. More often than not, the U5 spider chip ends up being dead due to a switch matrix short. There are no replacements for those spider chips, and they are all different, so you can't swap one in from another position. So unfortunately, when the same irreplaceable chip fails on a large number of boards, untested/non-working boards end up having minimal value.

Yes, that's a very nice board. You'll want to take that battery off (DataSentry), it is likely already leaking acid into some of the traces.. so the sooner the better.. and anyone who takes the board would want this off.

Please do try to move it to someone who will fix it up. I could use the Driver board if you end up selling, please let me know.

I have some less desirable arcade boards if you wanted to trade, but I'm in canada, so shipping is sometimes not practical... and the border is not quite there yet it seems :/

Wow.. yeah that would be amazing. Please let me know.. Yes, def have use.. I'm building a joker poker from frankenstein parts, and I need the driver board.

Yeah, no problem.. at least I can offer pinball if you ever make it up north to Surrey

Looks nice, not worried about issues either, as I have the parts to replace most components.. was just waiting for a board to turn up.

Thanks-

I can possibly use it.. If not I know people for sure.. Sometimes depending on what is wrong with these they can be difficult to get going again..

Thank you.

Yes.. Pretty big pins iirc.. But it should come off on two points..

Cool game btw. The pascal is particularly good for this as shooting the special is a really fun shot to make (hit the drops to each side, leaving just the one thst becomes lit) I believe with the pascal you can make this worth 50k, which would add a great deal of strategy to this title for competative play... Much more so that the original which awards a credit... Making it not such a viable Strat for competition.

i'd be interested in the mpu .

Thanks Nigel,

Sending a PM.
