    I'm in the process of restoring a Sys 11b Mousin Around that has a fried interconnect board.
    I was able to pick up a new interconnect board at pinfest today that was in an Elvira (also sys 11b).
    Will this new board work in a Mousin' Around?
    I'm just now reading that there may be differences in the resistors on each board.

    Any insight is greatly appreciated!

    Quoted from The_Director:

    There are differences in the resistors. I've also seen some odd things happen even with resistor replacement swapping one from one game to another. Ran into a BK2K with an ES interconnect modified and it was preventing the Flashers from working on C-side. Even replacing the little chip that interfaces with the Aux driver board and relay and double checking everything all the way back. Owner purchased a BK2K interconnect and fixed all the flashers, so I'd try my best to find one for MA if possible.

    Crap.
    Was afraid of this after doing a little reading tonight. Heading back to pinfest tomorrow and will see if I can talk to the seller.
    Should have done more homework before grabbing the board today.

    The only difference I noticed between the 2 boards are the 3 last resistors are different (block resistors on Elvira, little white 'diode-like' resistors on Mousin Around.

    But maybe because both games are from 1989 and are running all the same boards it may work

    Quoted from Alan_L:

    Hi, this Alan_L, the seller. Two choices: either cut out the block resistors on your board and install jumpers, or return the board for a full refund.

    That's really awesome of you, Alan.
    Thank you.
    Can I bring the board back to you tomorrow and you can show me which resistors to cut & jump? I noticed a few more resistors have different ohms on them, too.

    If for some reason this resistor-swap is something I'm not confident doing then a refund is much appreciated.

    I'd love to get this board you sold me to work in my Mousin Around because it's in amazing shape!!!
