They look BETTER than new!!
I just love the crossed over legs on those transistors - it's a real shame they designed some of these boards around 'weirdo' non-standard pinout parts.….makes it hard all these years later.
Well done - I would be FAR too lazy to repair anything that neatly %.%

Thankyou Andy(Beaky) for doing a fine job of professionally overhauling my Phoenix 1978-Williams boards. ^^^
I am restroing this machine back to a brand new condition. The boards looking like new will fit in with the rest of the machine as I am sparing nothing at all in making the entire machine like new again. I will start a new thread shortly to catalogue the tear down and subsequent work.
The boards had worked hard since 1978, some 34 yrs ago, so the proper resto on the boards was needed.
Thanks again Andy(Beaky).

Mmmmmm... shiny shiny bling boards!!!
Lovely job Andy ^^^

thanks guys.
I really enjoy doing the full restoration jobs.
it is getting harder to find the axil style capacitors these days and some times i just can't get them.

One thing that i did notice though is that you did both tamper AND remove the label on the sound board which now voids warranty.

I am taking the whole cabinet, inside n out, plus the headbox back to bare wood. Then after prep work, I will spray the entire cabinet inside n out with 2 pac paint. I have the choice of using a professional spray painter or I can use my own compressor n spray equipment. I will see what the profesionals quote is, and then see if Andy(Beaky) and I can do it ourselves. Either way, I will be getting the first bright pink coat done which will look spectacular. Leaning towards a professional 2 pac job really.
I remember seeing a Phoenix brand spanking new, coming off a truck n being set up, and the pink cabinet you see today on most Phoenix machines is only a shadow of its former bright pink glory. After the pink is done, I will then have the orange and then the white shapes painted on all of the cabinet. The machine will look brand new.
I have recently purchased a replacement Phoenix backglass for $300 cause the original one was well past being able to be used again. The new one is a 8.5 outta 10. I have also just purchased an entire spare populated playfield for only $299 that comes with absolutely everything, top and bottom, and this playfield is much better than the original one. The original one is very good, this new one is great.
I also have a brand new set of PinLED displays incl all the slave displays and the master display from the USA. It will make it look better than new.
