You're really going to want to go through that "Before You Turn the Game On Checklist" before installing the new boards. If there is a shorted/locked on coil, switch, etc you don't want it to take out the new boards.

Ah, yes. Of course.

So I will have lots of updates soon! I have made some progress in making this game operate correctly again. Pics coming.

I have hit a snag however. After installing the Rottendog MPU, I am getting an U25 error. I have eliminated all possibilies of human error. The Dip switches are in the correct position. Would it be bad out of the box? I have read of others with issues out of the box.

Any other suggestions before I condemn the board?

I emailed Rottendog and my distributor and have got nothing, but it's probably because its a weekend.

Back from the dead, After dealing with the rottendog board sending it back and forth and never getting it to work right, thepinballwizard.net fixed my original board and it has been working flawlessly ever since. The playfield still has it's (minor, mostly cosmetic) issues that I will probably never address unless I want to invest in a full overhaul but it still plays great and very fast, everything working as it should for the most part. I have a local guy who can help me with the small stuff whenever.
