I soldered the cut wires and heatshrinked. All lampholders and inserts were cleaned, diodes checked ( found two faulty ones). Re-built flippers with new links and springs, adjusted bats and eos. Pulled down the drops and cleaned/rebuilt, straightened plastics in the oven, stripped a fair bit of the top to clean and polish and it came up well. Tackled the back box next, re-built the power suppply with a GPE kit and also put cap kits through the power supply and sound card. The driver board had a nasty repair around one of the transistors, I decided to source a rebuilt one which I got from Ken (skybeaux), I can highly recommend Kens work, the driver board he sent looked like NOS. Kens board came with all new square pins and I installed new pins to the other boards, replaced all the female connectors with new trifuricon type. After I had done this work the game would boot up but was having intermmitent issues which I narrowed down to the 40pin board connector, I had replaced the female side and cleaned the male pins, on close inspection you could see the coating on the pins was in poor condition ( maybe previously sanded?) Anyway I replaced the males with new pins and its been rock solid ever since. I pulled the wiring harness out to make it easier to replace connectors and also to clean.
Here,s a before and after pic:
