I picked up this generic "Test Your Memory" trade stim a while back. It was a low priority project, in unknown condition, so it sat around for, *check's watch*, a couple of years... Well, it was a slow weekend, with my wife out of town, so I figured I'd see what I could accomplish towards getting it clean and working (it was really filthy). Turned out to be mostly working, just needing some tweaking of the coin acceptor, several burned out bulbs, and the removal of copious amounts of soda residue. The funny thing was, when I opened it up to see what was what, I found that whoever made these silly things, used an ACTUAL PCB from the Pocket Simon game from Milton Bradley. It even still has the branding on it. They just soldered wires to the button pads. To be fair, there is a whole second board in there to handle credits and scoring, but make no mistake, the "game" is literally Simon.
