    Not as bad as some of the hacks in here, but here are a few recent ones.

    1st is the power supply board from my LW3, Never noticed this till I removed the board to figure out why my 12V was only 10.4

    2nd from a Congo I just finished up, the pins in the picture were the ones on the board, they must have melted the connector before, and they wedged a new partial connector on, it was an 8 pin connector, the first 5 were the original connector, the last three were that toasted mess you see, I had to pry the connector off the board it was on so tight.

    3rd was from the monkey under the plastic center of the playfield.

    Yep, there is some solder in there, and a lot of open space as well..
