I am currently in the process of rebuilding a Gottlieb Star Race. It had set in a building for the better part of a decade so I am sure you can all imagine what the board looked like. I purchased a rebuild kit from Great Plains Electronics. Have of you used one of these kits on a system 80 board before? Are there additional trouble spots that I should be looking for?

Thank for the input. I will check those dip switches and see if they were effected. I purchased new pins for some of the molex as they were corroded pretty bad.

I had seen several replacement boards for sale online but thought since the rebuild kits were so cheap I would give that a go first to see if I could save it. Worst case scenario I buy a new board right.

Well, I am back after being out of town for a couple of weeks.

The corrosion on the board has destroyed some of the traces. Im gonna keep going and try to get it up and running but at this point probably looking at a new board.

Have any of you had any luck just redrawing the traces with a conductive pen?
