Terminal block all wired up, nice and neat and secured to the bottom of the cab with gorilla tape. No more holes have been drilled or covered up. All connects tested and boom we have life!! And since i had some laying around, I replaced the flipper buttons with gold leaf switch buttons. So much...

Got the first one all tore down, it was surprisingly easy. Cab has alot of internal space, I know you can buy an upgraded haptics kit. But even after installing that you still have a decent amount of room to work with. Issues with this one, power cables. For some strange reason Atgames spliced...

Sooooo I may have done something stupid, I like pinball on my phone and computer. Mainly the FX pinball series. Love real life pinball, and have several pinball spaces in the area in which I live. But between family, kids, work, and whatever elese seems to pop up I don't have time to hang out at...

I'm still working on reflowing the componets and I have to replace 2 caps before I power it on. Will post a boot screen when I do. Side note, where did you get your acrylic cut? Or did you do it yourself?

Read my mind, I already have the compact flash kit ready for this. Just need a short extender cable, and I’m going to look up to see if I can find a small 3D print bracket design to mount to the bottom acrylic sheet.

Hmmm well fingers crossed, already started the ram replacement.

Then short IDE extender cable it is.

Yeah I have had 3 boards in the past year come to me with lifted legs. Its not a hard repair if you have a really good digital microscope and small angle tip on a good soldering iron. The only thing that I am thinking about the cpu legs is that is there a way that once the solder is refreshed...

Thanks for the input, the mentioned method is what I have done in the past with diluted dawn and a soft detail brush. But I have never had a board this dirty, and I want to make sure I propely clean and perseve it in an acrylic case. As I know how rare these boards are.

So I am going to work on the second bottom half tonight and hopefully start the IC this weekend. Just a quick question for folks, has anyone ever used an ultrasonic cleaner for a motherboard? And if so what prep did you take to make sure nothing got damaged during the process.

First section done, look at at all the shiny solder. Thinking I may have to wait until the end of the solder work to clean up all the flux. And just give it an IPA bath and gentle scrub. Plus I am thinking I may have to remove all the components with plastic housing. Melted the corner of a...

Don’t mean to hijakck the op thread. My main issue was Naomi 1 booted up super slow. Which pointed me to the video ram, so ic9 and ic10. And if you know a better test let me know please.

Came across this board and had to grab it, $200 was the price which i think is fair for the amount of work that needs to be done. When I got it on the bench I noticed a heavy amount of surface corrosion on the bottom half of the board. So I bathed it in cleaning vinegar for 8 hours, then...
