They exist for the bottom, but not the top

There are some traces that run under the DAC and can't see exactly what they're going to. They trace back to U17 and U1 and they seemingly connect to the legs of the DAC.

Hey all, checking in - is there anywhere to see the silkscreen for the MKII audio board as we suspect a few topside traces are damaged and want to test! Paging @mecha

Was eyeing the tantalum caps earlier today as a possibility as we got the values of them in needed to order. Will tap back in once the DAC and U11 are replaced

Hey all, just a quick update with this since it's been a minute - Main amp, U37, all new caps, and GAL from another MK2 sound board +new ribbon cable all have been installed. Getting the same issue. I have a U11 that will go in next and also planning on grabbing a U16 (AD1851 NOS). Here is a...

Hey all, could use some help with my MK2 sound board. I've had this cabinet for a few years at this point and up until recently it's been working perfect the few times that it was turned on and played. The other day I fired it up and it was playing fine but felt like the sound was getting lower...

Also noticed the kill switch is a bit worn and not tripping properly when the coin door is closed - any recommended fixes
