I used to collect and repair MPU -17 and -35 to repair for "fun".. Just "pass time" for 30 hours replacing the sockets, installing new chips, installing the corrosion kit from GPE and then fixing all the broken tracks ...
All I can say is if you can fix these boards, you can fix anything.. I still have a pile of them in a corner.. "one day" !!
Great to see you have fixed the board Vinto. After spending all the effort repairing the board, I know the feeling when it does not boot..
I remember a Stern -200 board that I spend hours on - It would not boot in my test rig, but it worked perfectly in the machine !!
