I would reset all connectors on all the boards. Hopefully the AA batteries on the CPU board was removed a long time ago. I would not worry about re-capping the monitor yet.

Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:Hopefully the rubber grommets for the joysticks have survived, but it is possible they have dry rotted over the years. If so, they are available at arcadeshop.com. Congrats, that's a purdy game.
The grommets should be ok. I had a friend who bought one of these CT Robotrons a few years ago from some operator in Canada (for $2500) and right out of the box it worked. Even the factory installed batteries did not leak (they were dead but no acid damage). His grommets were fine. The problem with the Arcade Shops ones are that they are too stiff. The original Wico grommets are better. ENJOY YOUR NEW GAME !!!
Quoted from ultimategameroom:... what the purchase price was if you don’t mind sharing.
I don't know if it came from the same Canadian operator (his name was Dale) but I remember him having several NIB Robotron's and Black Knight pinball machines. The Robotrons were about $2500 a few years ago. I believe the BK pins were around the same price. Most likely this Robotron came from the same warehouse. I have pictures of that Canada ops warehouse somewhere on my hard drive.
Quoted from BoJo:Between a NIB Stern Pro and Premium
I can't see that going for that much. It is a videogame not a pinball machine.
Quoted from brainmegaphone:That board needs repair and work (have a pro do it) but is completely fixable.
JROK makes an awesome board, but I would not purchase a NIB game and then have FPGA hardware running in it. If I was lucky enough to have a NIB arcade game you better believe it is going to run the original hardware.
Also, I am pretty sure the JROK board is not being produced right now which has driven the cost up. You will probably fix the board cheaper than buying a JROK.
That game is beautiful. Enjoy. Good luck with the repair!
I am running JROK boards in all my original Williams cabinets (Sinistar, Stargate and Robotron). The JROK boards are great and play perfectly. All my games DO have working boardsets but by using the JROK adapter I can just plug in a JROK into the original harness and keep the wear/tear off my original boards. I highly recommend JROK.
Quoted from wayinla:Are they not going to produce them anymore or just that there’s a break in production?
JROK is in the process of making a new batch of boards. They will be out maybe in 30-60 days.
Quoted from joemagiera:How is the sound? I've heard the sound is a touch off on JROK Williams boards.
To me, the JROK sound is fine but you can always plug in the William's sound board into the JROK if you want to.
Quoted from joemagiera:Where are you located? I have a tested working Tempest available for sale. I'm in the Chicago area.
email me if interested.

Joe is a great guy. I have bought games from in the past.
