Thats the pre-flux capacitor...... when you get to level 99 you travel through time... but it's forward.... and about the same speed as it travels now....

I think it must have been an "old timer" that did it. That's the old point-to-point type of soldering components before PC boards. They did it alot in the old radios.
 
That guy gets around. I had a working Bubble Bobble board that looked like that. It took me an hour of looking at the schematics and the board to figure out that he had wired around a couple of cracks in the board. It took me about 25 minutes to unsolder and de-electrical tape the masterpiece and 6 minutes to fix the cracks and put the components back. The board worked fine once I was done. I didn't commemorate the artistry with pics though. I always think of that after the fact....:(

Yeah, I especially like the speaker wire conductor thingy!
 
This is the best thing I have seen today. Wish it worked. Looks like the time I wired my telephone into a jam box when I was 13 to get a speaker phone. You know, back when speaker phones were expensive.
 
Thats some creative work you have there. I have seen alot of similar hacks. You would think they would have tried to do a cleaner job but I guess it was a rush to get the games back in service more than anything.

So what do you guys think? Throw a crystal on the board and fire it up?? Do I dare?? lol
 
PCB repair fail! Looks like the spider burst out of the game code and took up residence on the board.
 
send a pic to I fixed it dot com.....some techs are real hacks, and should not be allowed to use tools, EVER...been a mechanic my whole life the stuff I have seen and witness to.....omg
