    I recently picked up a Joker Poker non-working, and when I got to it, the CPU board has been seriously eaten by battery acid, far beyond what I think is repairable. It looks as though all kinds of pads have been bridged with the corrosion, and I'm guessing even if I was to clean it up, replace the parts, jumper the many completely lifted and eaten traces, I'll have a number of pouched components. Given I already hate dealing with the sys1 boardset, the no brainer option seems to pay for the all in one.

    Just curious on the feedback to date though, any failures, any issues, any limitations, or is it superb? It looks superb!

    No issues to date? I love extras, even with a working system, in a game that is a keeper for you, it seems hard to pass up.

    Are these licensed from Steve as well? Just curious, as he doesn't offer them off his site.

    So no issues from anyone at all?

    Ok, good enough for me, I'll grab one later today.

    Question, this has an onboard sound 3 tone option, for Joker Poker, that still has chimes, I'm assuming the chimes still work with the far right connector being present, but can you combine the chimes and tones to sound off together?

    I just ordered, so I'm hoping it comes quick.

    I'm surprised since this is a completely new design and that all pins should be replaced he didn't go to a molex style header system. Obviously it becomes less interchangeable, but much more reliable down the road.

    Quoted from CraigC:

    if it was a molex connectored game i would also replace all of the connector pins (i do this on all bally sterns). you dont need to replace the connectors themselves just all the tinned pins that frequently are corroded, lose flexibility and connectivity. the cost is minimal and with the right tools can be done in 30 mins.
    -c

    Exactly, but with the smaller pins you can't use trifurcon style, only .156. That's what would be ideal.
