Hahaha. The new trend. Have your game smell like a toilet.
Of course you have to scrub it off quick, its meant for cleaning shit and piss.

.... "the works toilet bowl cleaner".
That's hydrochloric acid. I would not use that for general PCB cleaning.... I have used it for cleaning up boards with battery corrosion. But that is way too harsh for removing minor oxidation. If sockets are corroded, just replace them.

There's so many posts in this thread I can't keep track, but here's a link from a previous Turbo thread a few years back a few of us were involved in. You may find some resourceful info there in regards to your resto.

Got around to installing Matt's high score save kit today. Works great, couldn't be more happy with it.
Excellent! Nicely done.
About those "do not adjust" pots on the P-rom boards... well I had to adjust them, and I figured out an easy way to do it, at least for my board set. I was having some graphics issues and the cars seemed way to big. I couldn't find any documentation on these until I found a picture for a listing for an instruction set for the turbo that was missing from my cab. Basically VR2 (the top knob when installed in the cab) is the rough adjustment and VR1 is the fine adjustment. What I figured out is that when both these knobs are turned all the way up (clockwise) the cars and buildings and trees shrink to their minimum size(become shorter not narrower). When they are both turned all the way down, they are all at their maximum size. Now when they are cranked all the way up and everything was at its shortest, I was getting some strange graphics glitches from the buildings. Certain building were turning to solid white lines. Take the rough adjustment knob and turn it down until the glitches in the buildings go away. Then you can take the fine adjustment knob and kind of dial it in a bit. I wait until the scene with the grey walls with the black lines in them and if those black lines are close to even with the wall, then it should be pretty close. I don't know if this will work for evey turbo, apparently according to the instruction sheet I found online there are two revisions of the P-rom board. I would't try adjusting these unless you absolutely have to, as I have read older posts of people really having a hard time adjusting these.
I need to adjust mine again, as I'm getting some glitches with the buildings and trees. Do you happen to know how to set the dip switches so you advance to the next level once you pass the required amount of cars. Mine is set to where you have to run out the time to get to the next level. I didn't even know this was a setting until last night when I saw a video of someone playing.Good information! I've been delaying adjusting these in mine. During the move, the subwoofer in the cabinet escaped for freedom by removing itself via the metal screw-in things that dig into the wood. It then crashed into the boardset and knocked something to go all fathead mode with the sprites. I'll give your suggestions here a go hopefully this week.

Thanks, so would that be switch number 3 I need to adjust? I just want to set it so you get to the next level after you pass the required amount of cars.![]()

I think I have mine set to Easy mode with 90 seconds. I like seeing how many times I can loop the "track".
It would appear so. I'm like you in that I never knew that was an option to begin with and I never wanted to limit the game time like that.Thanks, so would that be switch number 3 I need to adjust? I just want to set it so you get to the next level after you pass the required amount of cars.
