Cool, I have a Strikes and Spares as well. VERY cool pin. Unfortunately, my MPU board was already missing and replaced with an Alltek MPU board. That too had battery damage (can you believe it?) where the previous owner installed a battery (Don't think it even needs it). Anyway, I cleaned that up and resocketed and replaced a chip or two and it fixed it. I also re-pinned everything.
However, I will say, I did replace the power supply with the aftermarket one. It's designed to be beefier and more reliable. My old one was hacked up and BARELY working, with jumped wires everywhere. It gave me peace of mind and seems rock solid.
Lastly, I installed Yoppsicle LEDS on the active lights (I left the GI alone). They look amazing and are a perfect match to the original.
Here's how it looks with the Yoppsicles installed:
And here's what I'm working on... I'm making background music and sounds (non-destructive) on my pin. Still a work in progress, a buddy and I are printing a PCB that interfaces as a pass through on the existing boards and outputs sound fx and music.
Here's a preview:
Let me know if you have any issues or questions on Strikes and Spares. It was my first pin (and my only one so far) and I've learned a ton from working on it.
