OK, transformer and new rottendog power supply board are in and not smoking when powered up!!
My next challenge is to address the issues on the display board and interconnect board.
Firstly, the u20,15 and 10 chips are either cracked or fried U15 and 20 are 7180 and u10 is a 4049 - unsure on availability of these - hopefully Jaycar or someone in Townsville stocks them so i can grab them tommorrow.
As you can see, under the display board (see 2nd pic) someone has been pretty nasty with a soldering iron - hopefully the jumper on top (1st pic) will work with the new ic's.
2nd issue is the interconnect board - some dweeb has soldered wires (3rd pic) where the plugs went in, so i will have to grab some connectors.
On the 4th pic you can see a heap of jumper leads, i guess i will make sure these are all going to the right spot. Should i replace the pins on the board where they have obviously got hot?
I'll get to cleaning things up and desoldering ic's that need replacing tonight. Let me know if you have any suggestions...
