Mike had sent this over when my board was apparently dead, but I found the faults and it turned out the amp was not the issue.

The problem with the amp used on this board is that the chip is not available easily (I found one in the UK for $20.00, so grabbed it). The boards themselves complete are just as hard to find, and look at $200 US for a working one.

Well after the success the first time, I turned on the game a few weeks ago to no sound.

While looking it over, the very large heatsink on the amp chip broke off (I swear I was careful!!) so rather than fool around with it, I decided to install the one Mike had sent previously.

It comers with a replacement cap for c33, which is in a 30 volt circuit, but is rated at 25 volts. It was actually this that was originally dead on my board, so when I got Mike's kit I installed that first, and out of curiosity tried the board and it worked - it was that cap.
