    Bally Lost World where someone did some - um - modifications:

    The game itself works fine. For now. But I have 2 questions:

    1) What did he do and why did he do it?

    2) Does it make any sense to rip it all out and take it back to stock?

    one of the bridges on the rectifier board went out so they added another one. Not sure why they moved the fuse.

    I'd clean that up

    If the game works fine, I'd leave it. Whenever it stops working fine, I'd rip it all out and return it to stock.

    It's better to repair a hack job properly concerning these rectifier boards and put it back to stock so you or the next person can repair it if/when there is a problem.

    Looks like a fire hazard... The board is probably repairable but it might be worth just buying a new one

    Yeah, a new one is pretty cheap

    My wife would kill me if I took a chance with that. If you care about your house fix that before a fire happens.

    OK fine, I ordered a new one but all you guys had better be available when I get it installed and the machine isn't working.
