I have on older stern SD board in my Bally Flash Gordon. It is working well, and I have performed all the Vid upgrades. I did have to repair several "vaporized" traces on the board, and wondered what caused them. Insufficient ground? transistors failing?

The traces were this way before I began servicing and restoring the board. They have not happened since I restored it.
