Picked up a Gottlieb Cleopatra yesterday. It's a restore project. I'm examining the machine to figure out what it needs so I can come up with a game plan.

I looked at the MPU board where the battery holder used to be. Obviously it has acid damage.

Asking for recommendations, do I:
1. Go with this board, clean it up knowing it may or not work and know it's going to fail
2. Get a replacement System 1 board that's been tested
3. Get one of the modern replacement boards like a Ni-Wumpf or Pascal

I can do board level work, this is just looking like a pandoras box if you know what I mean. And in the end, it may not work
