I did something crazy today. I picked up a very not working Star Wars Trilogy off marketplace today. I have no idea what I am doing. Trying to decide if I have what it takes to do this.
The guy I bought it from said someone tried to fix the boards, but it didn't work.
The bad:
1. Power driver board is toast
2. CPU/Sound board is toast
3. Questionable wiring hacks
4. Xwing blasters broken
5. Various playfield broken plastics (targets, pops)
6. Wear and nicks on cabinet.
7. mylar wear in center tie fighter area
8. Broken coin door key
The good:
1. I found two boxes of bulbs in the back of the cabinet
My plan:
0. Decide if I am up for this, or flip it to someone who knows what they are doing
1. Buy new driver and CPU boards
2. Buy replacement plastics, rubber and Xwing
3. Tear down and clean
4. Figure out wiring hacks and some crazy soldering jobs I noticed
5. Pray
I think it would be fun to get this thing working, I just fear I would be in over my head on figuring out problems other than simple part swaps.
