HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Man print out a cheap paper mailing label with a low res internet pic of that part for Pete's sake!

It's not. Fuses do not act like caps in parallel. They do not add up 1

Imagine if you will,, Sign post up ahead.

Other than to use the head as a test bed, why in the world would one move it up there? */facepalm*

My guess it broke off and then just pounded down.

Kind of like the plunger rods at an arcade in Nashua that were so bad you could not remove them from the assembly due to the mushroom.

Lot of trust in that solder mask in last shot. *eyeroll*

Hahaha until I read this, I was trying to see what the hack was! Man I need more coffee this AM.

LOL that is one way to repair the sol drivers.

Wow talk about a Rube Goldberg. The 3 feed through looked salvageable enough to remount the transistor, so why?..... Then what the heck is that thing they are using as a heat-sink? And then they are using thermal paste when air would have done fine.

LOL ok that made me spit coffee..

I should do that right away and attach heatsinks and thermal compound to all the transistors in all my games.!! Wait, maybe retro a PC water cool system and run some HE-Pex though each head!!! OH OH Wait,,,,

Good catch Ed, it looks like a transistor after you hit it with a hammer to knock the plastic off. Thats good, I have plenty of bad transistors I can use as heatsinks in my next project.
