Thanks Rob, I got one of these the beginning of the summer with a good playfield. The MPU battery had corroded and I replaced the MPU. Still having issues, so plan to re-pin connectors and likely get another light driver board.

@@Swento I always have questions luckily this is one of those hobbies the more you ask the more you learn and there is a ton of awesome people in it as well. My unit looked fairly clean compared to what i have seen in the past but it was also a gift so i have a great starting cost.
