    Cool hack, one rectifier made with diodes, the other one must have been what he had on hand. Creative use of the heat sink to prop up that resistor.

    Quoted from pinballtech:

    After over 40 years as a tech I thought I had seen it all, but this takes the cake.

    Awesome hack!

    It's foolproof.. maybe handy if the batteries died and the game resets every time you turn it on.
