Hi
Any else noticed how hard it is to fault find and fix Star Wars PCBs

I have a plan to make a little harness for myself, so I can spread the PCBs out next to one another. So the harness is used for testing only and replaces the filter board and interconnect board

I bought some Edge connectors today, just need to find the smaller pitch edge connectors for the other end . . (2.54mm pitch 43pin x 2)

Anyone else thought of doing this before?

One option is to buy the Star Wars Interconnect PCB, cut it in 3 and solder in the ribbon cable yourself..

OR email andys arcade and ask if they make them. Maybe he'll sell you the parts?
 
He replied to me straight away, and said he had them boards made whole and shipped back ready to sell

But the most important fact, he said: You repair Star Wars PCBs with the sound board removed.

Then you can easily get to all components, as the remaining 2 PCBs are back to back

A big thanks to Andy :)

Thanks also to Kman, cheers
