OP
Quoted from adfit:

I am working up a Volcano ('81) - just starting out in this hobby. Been reading all about making sure the power supply is reliable before plugging all the boards into it.
I am getting along OK, but could really use some advice on the board rebuild (or maybe the bottom board...)
I have detailed what I am seeing here.

Basically, I'm not sure if I have that right voltages arriving at the board or if rebuilding the board itself will do the trick...
This maybe should have been posted in this section? Huge thanks just for reading this!

Rebuild all the way! Go for the adventure and learn.

Quoted from gdonovan:

I have done rebuilds and just replacements with a Gulf Pinball unit.
Getting the board separate from the heatsink and back together is tricky, unless you have the right tools pop for a new Gulf board.

Gulf Boards are not the greatest, I would rebuild it, do the ground mods and be proud you fixed it yourself. Anyone can spend money and buy a new board, but learning is fun. The tools you need are not that expensive and are worth the investment. Get your feet wet, take your time, the group is here to help.
