I just wanted to relay that www.homepin.com based out of Australia absolutely ROCKS. They back up their product like none other. I finally got fed up with trying to get my damn magnet board working (it had multiple burned traces) and gave up and purchased their board from homepin.com.
Evidently I may need to relocate my magnet board because when I installed the board from homepin it tested perfectly (via the magnet test) but once I got up and running I noticed that at one point my ball locked up and sat in the middle of the field when the magnet should not have been active. For whatever reason the fuse under the playfield did not blow but rather one of the transistors on the board smoked.
I explained the situation to the folks at homepin... I'd assumed they already updated their boards with the .22uf cap that is a common fix for this problem but evidently, while they actually have a spot for the cap (no hack necessary) ... they don't install it as it's not necessary for many people and actually causes problems with some.
Anyway, I expected them to send me a transistor and perhaps the .22uf cap... but they sent me a brand new board and the necessary cap. I asked if they wanted the other board back and they told me to keep it. These guys back up their product it seems. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase pin parts... they went beyond the call of duty to make their customer happy. Period.
Awesome...
