So I picked up a non-working Sorcerer today. I'm sure I will be coming back with many tech questions, as the game needs a good amount of work, but at least it turns on, credits up, and displays a "0" on the logic board when in diagnostic...

Anyway, the most notable issue is there seems to be a serious issue with the General Illumination. As shown in the pictures, the GI resistors are roasted and the related wiring on the power supply board is cooked. It looks like someone hacked things a bit somewhere along the way, so I wonder if that is the issue. Any thoughts on what could have caused the GI wiring and resistors to roast?

Looks like a machine that could have stayed on for long periods of time and you got some board work to do. Some real good reading from Vid1900 guide that you should look over.
