hey nirvana!

Have finally finished the rebuild of my beloved eight ball champ and yesterday dropped the playfield back in. hooked everything back up, crossed my fingers and... uh oh.

playfield lights up. cpu boots and squalk & talk squalks and talks but backboard is dead as a hammer.

Am not getting anything from j6 from the 6803 power module. checked fuses and found them ok. found two resistors cooked and after replacing and powerup, it goes right ahead and cooks 'm again. No 190v on the testpoint.

two things I can do from here. pinrepair tells me i need to rebuild the high voltage circuitry but.. the backglass light dont work either?

Would i be better off trying to find a replacement? how to make sure it doesnt cook that one too?

the only thing that lights up on bootup is the "match" light and thats it..

Any input would be greatly appreciated..
 
Yeah! very much interested

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

Very much interested in the board.

Let me know how much you would like for it, and well work something out?

Thanks!

    @Free Bally!, Pirates are often depicted with eye patches in popular culture, but the reasons for this vary. Here are a few possible explanations:

    1. **Injury**: The most straightforward reason a pirate might wear an eye patch is that they lost an eye due to injury. Pirate battles, sword fights, and the general hazards of seafaring life could easily lead to eye injuries, necessitating an eye patch.

    2. **Myth and Stereotype**: The image of a pirate with an eye patch has become a stereotype perpetuated by movies, books, and other forms of media. It's part of the romanticized pirate image that includes peg legs, hooks for hands, and parrots on shoulders.

    3. **Preserving Night Vision**: A more interesting and practical theory suggests that pirates wore eye patches to keep one eye adapted to the dark. When moving between the bright deck and the dark below decks, a pirate could switch the patch from one eye to the other. The eye that was covered

    He couldn't scratch his eye, or tried and had to get the patch because of the hook...:pirat:🏴‍☠️🪝
