Galaga frozen

first thing with galaga boards is to reseat all socketed chips. Galaga is notorious for crappy sockets.

Did not know that, thanks.
Info is from a seller, possible purchase for me.
Any other reason to pass on it? Looks solid from the 1 pic he has.
 
Galaga suffers from some horrible problems with sockets and resistor packs along with tarnished/corroded custom chip pins.

Replace the sockets (24/28/40 and 42 pin ones) with good quality dual wipe sockets then replace the flat style resistor packs with new ones.

Clean the custom chips, reinstall them, and you'll have a solid working foundation upon which to troubleshoot for any remaining issues.
