I bought a non-working PCB set from ebay some months back to learn on. It looks fine except I see a leg of a chip hanging out of it's socket and a cracked resistor solder point.
The question I have is there is a missing cap on the bottom right of the board (shown in the 2nd pic) and I'm not sure why it's missing. Was this board once used with a switching power supply so they didn't need the cap? Or maybe somebody just robbed it for some other board.
Do you know where I can get a replacement? I have a cap kit from Bob Roberts that just came in. Maybe it's in this little baggy.
Other than that, the 2 boards look fine and I have a linear power supply, wiring harness, k4600 chassis/tube and control panel getting ready to try and fire this up in my first attempt at arcade repair.
Thanks for any tips and suggestions.
