I remember years ago Pinled jumped in. But board rebuilders won’t even touch Rottendog boards. Original WPC 91-94 boards are now either worn out junk, hacked, or unobtainium.

At $300 a pop buying a RD board just to throw it away later if something happens seems silly.

Quoted from DumbAss:

I just finished the layout for the WPC-89 CPU (and security) board. I'm almost done with the WPC-95 AV board. The WPC-89 Power Driver board is probably the next on my list.
See my thread @ https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/dumbass-test-and-reproduction-pcbs for more information (although I don't typically announce what I'm working on).
I've seen a PinLED board if I recall correctly. It's mostly surface mount. I also have a few Rottendog power driver boards in some of my machines and I want to replace them with original boards as well.

Just read your thread. Fantastic work! Would truly be refreshing for a fellow enthusiast to bring their passion to the production table on these boards.

Quoted from BC_Gambit:

What is the problem with the RD power driver boards if they are working fine right now?
I have a System 9 RD PD board I have to put in; the old one honestly looks like a fire hazard at this point (torched GI connector points). I am sure I could save it but I thought one that generates much less heat and is not 35 years old would be the way to go...

No idea. Some folks who do top notch board repairs won’t touch them. Visually they look ok. Maybe someone who knows RD boards better can chime in why.

My concern is if RD is considered junky, my pins deserve the best.
