...or my wife is going to put an end to my hobby.... ;)


OK, so my Six Million Dollar Man recently went the way of the Dodo. Went to flip the on/off switch and gets nothing. Opened the head unit up and cycled the power again, and noted the LED code on the MPU. This is pointing to a bad chip. I have another machine that is currently playing the part of "donator machine", so I grabbed the chip off of that machine's MPU and replaced it on the board (unknown if it works or not, there was some battery corrosion on the MPU...).

While going over things in the head unit, I noticed other issues. Fist, the power supply looks like it "smoked" recently or is on it's way out. The one from the donator machine was VERY clean (but again, untested), so I swapped that out transformer and all...

While looking at my MPU, near the bad chip in question, I noticed 2 resistors were burned up. I would like to replace these, and I am skeptical of using the ones from the donator board. I would like to order new ones for replacement. Unfortunately, I am getting older and slightly color blind so my resistor code decoding isn't what it used to be.

So... The MPU is AS-2518-35 and the 2 resistors in question are R2 and R11. I looked at the schematics online, but they are pretty difficult to read. Could someone please give me the values of resistor I should pick up to replace the burned out ones?

Also, what else can I look at or check before powering up? Any other tests I should run? Any other advice for someone that knows less about pins than arcades?
