I'm rebuilding a Game Plan MPU-1. It has the worst battery damage I've ever seen.
Despite the damage, I'm confident I can put it right again.
I soaked it in vinegar to neutralize the battery damage. Then I sandblasted it. Yes, it needed it.
So far the recovery has gone well. I've socketed everything (since I had to remove everything anyway, I socketed it all) and rebuilt the traces that got blown off.
The edge connector is a problem. My idea is to do something like Bob Roberts recommends for rebuilding an edge connector, except I'm having difficulty finding the connector itself to solder to it. I could probably go a bit longer, but not very much. Any idea where I could find one, preferably on Mouser?
