If the voltages are correct on the rectifier board I wouldn't replace it. Just replace those two cement resistors that have been damaged, replace the header pins and repin the connectors as suggested.

You have to repin the connectors anyway, and replacing the headers and resistors is easier and cheaper than replacing the board and connecting the wiring harness to the back.

Quoted from RTSMikeM:

How do I know what I need to buy for each board?

.156 header pin strips, 24 pins you cut to length
.156 trifurcon crimp pins, 18-20AWG
1026-CT or 1028-CT crimper tool
1 600 ohm, 10W cement resistor
1 25 ohm, 5W cement resistor

You really have 39 pinball machines??? Holy Crap!!

Nope, 40 machines. Forgot to add another Xenon I bought in January.

Thanks guys. I got the stuff ordered from DigiKey. 250 pins and 16 - 24 pin headers.
Hopefully that will be enough!

I just realized I read your earlier post wrong and thought you were asking for parts for rectifier board only. Other pins/headers needed are .100 size.
