I got this pin for free this past July (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=192295). A customer of mine had it for the past 20+ years. He said that he bought it in all most new condition for $2500, and back then that was a ton of money. He said it stopped working a few years back and didn't take the time to have someone service it. His kids had moved out, so he was in no rush to get it fixed. Well, I saw it and my eyes lit up. He could tell I was devoted to the cause, so he offered it to me for free. I picked it up that same night. He even helped me disassemble and move it downstairs and into my truck. I got it home and immediately noticed the battery on the MPU had leaked and the acid ate 90% of the traces off of the back of the pcb. After installed the ultimate MPU, and setting the dip switches I fired it up and BINGO! I had it running, however the fuse under the play field was blown, the tilt switches were cut, the sound didn't work, a few of the other leaf switches on the play field needed adjusting. I fixed all of the above, but couldn't get the sound working. The sound board was getting all the correct voltages, and there were no visual discrepancies. I recapped the sound board and it still didn't work. I ordered a replacement sound board (ordered board a month ago from linkpete.com and it still hasn't arrived
I, also, installed all new lights, vrubbers, springs, and screw caps. So now all I am waiting on is the sound and it's done. Here are some pictures. I will make a video and post it when the sound is up and running.
