Working Boardset Found

I asked around on r.g.v.a.c and found a working boardset, board cage, interior controls (volume, test switch, coin counter) and wiring harness for $150! I grabbed it. It is on it's way. El Dorado was more expensive and I really want the cage and harness.

The harness in my machine was hacked up to work around a burnt edge connector. Apparently most pole positions suffer a power problem at some point in their life and this burns the power connections on the game boards. Last owner did some soldering and bypassed the edge connector wiring directly to the boards.

The harness was hacked again to modify it for the replacement power supply. The original power supply is in the cabinet, but I am assuming it doesn't work beyond the transformer.

The boards slide into an "electromagnetic field protection cage" for safe error free operation. Apparently the board cage was not designed to protect the game from water damage. It is rusted severely in spots. I hope the new cage is in much better shape.
