You can read about my latest projects once the patent disclosures are finalized, but you're unlikely to understand them."brag about unfinished projects you did 15 years ago"

There's more to life than trinkets for 40+ year old toys.
FTFY!There's more to life thantrinketstwinkies for 40+ year oldtoysboyskiddos.
haven't checked for burned caps yet but probably not motivated enough to replace them before they go bad.
it has little board on the cpu socket that negates the need for the rom board. never knew this board existed
some would fight to the death over that statement. i understand the logic of preventive maintenance by replacing parts with a limited shelf life but i myself often ride big blue till the wheels fall off. if a healthy game starts resetting at the first few minutes after powering on i will replace the big blue as a shot gun before looking any further as it doesn't hurt to do so.I guess if you want to get pedantic, they aren't defective, since that would point to them not being right from the get go, but no harm in replacing parts that are failing due to being end of life, like Atari big blues

previous owner installed a switcher kit. this might not be not good for the custom chip due to incorrect voltage. makes you wonder if some of the issues with customs is because someone (upgraded ) the power supply.You should, probably preaching to the choir, but you don't want to mess around with astrocade games and power, the custom chips aren't cheap. Cap the power supply too, probably replace the big series pass transistor of it hasn't been done yet.
Yeah, the customs are run off the 12v, and when folks install switchers, the 12v line ends up too high and makes the customs run hotter...previous owner installed a switcher kit. this might not be not good for the custom chip due to incorrect voltage. makes you wonder if some of the issues with customs is because someone (upgraded ) the power supply.
