How is YOUR Home Basement Arcade?

I'm not sure I get it.... Are your games needing to be worked on constantly? Terminal pins in the bag.
Clipped IC legs from deceased chips and IC socket pins. I needed to take a close up...fail. But yes...as decades roll by I see more and more standard TTL and socket failures then I ever have in the past. Especially now that I'm finally repairing all my back up PCB's...they are aging like me...'crusty and don't want to work anymore'...

I'm jealous of the fact you're able to do preventative maintenance on your back up PCBs. I've got a line of work out the door waiting for me to get too. Keep it up ol' timer.

You know it is bad when you pull a backup PCB with a 'Repaired & Working' tag with my very own initials, a 2006 date and when you test the board it has multiple failures. LOL. Not LOL....dammit....
