I pulled this -35 MPU from my Eight Ball Deluxe when I got it. I've deemed it a parts board and have already started removing components, but before I go any further, I thought I'd share a photo of the most hacked MPU I've ever seen.
This is the front and at first glance you might not see much wrong with it:

But this is the reverse side. I've never encountered more ridiculousness since I got into the hobby a few years ago. Considering the fact that there is no acid corrosion, I can't for the life of me figure out what the person that did this was trying to accomplish.
Indeed, quite a hack! Unless the person replaced a few sockets and broke many pads on the component and solder sides... And had to repair with wires...
Or unless it is a rare one-of-a-kind manually wired -35 proto board !

Looking for 1966 Bally Capersville, 1967 Bally The Wiggler, 1981 Stern Viper, 1986 Pinstar Gamatron, 1986 Williams Grand Lizard, 1991 Williams Bride of Pinbot, and a few others. Cash or some trades available. Could also repair a machine of yours +/-$ if needed, in exchange for one machine on my want list, non-working/unshopped welcome!
INCREDIBLE!!!! I don't know what he was trying to accomplish but it was quite complicated. Did the board work???
No. It would just blink at one second intervals over and over forever. I didn't even try to diagnose it. It looks way worse up close. There's lots of broken traces and nasty soldering. It's just not worth trying to repair. I can use the IC's in other boards anyway.

Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
