I am starting a post to document what I am doing with my Space Shuttle. Great game. Mine plays well, but has some issues that will need to addressed to make it last a little longer. This isn't a professional restoration. I'm just looking to make it better than it was.
First of all, paid way to much for this one, but wanted the game and had the money.
A couple of days before I go to pick up the game, the guy texts and says the GI in the backbox isn't working. When i get there, it isn't just the backbox GI, but all of the GI. I removed the board and reflowed some solder in that section. Turns out it is an issue with the relay. Seems like the plastic cover may have deformed and is hindering the movement of the relay. I may replace it, but for now, it is working.
Here are some before pictures. Not great because my flash wasn't working.
