    Gorgar's heart beats no more.

    I might just take you up on that. I looked at the driver board a little closer and it may not be as wiped out as I thought. The worst seems to be concentrated around that one small close up area, the rest seems reasonable or at least not corroded like that one area is. Ya, I figured that game...

    Nod, I agree, old boards. I guess I was more so referring to the visual aspects of the other boards compared to the driver board. I thought maybe the driver board was replaced at some point but upon closer inspection, all the original vendor stamps are on all the boards (as well as stamped all...

    That whole driver board doesn't look right, sticks out like a sore thumb when you look at the rest of the boards. So many hot spots and corrosion, it's a cancerous growth that must be eradicated. It's the other boards I refer to as next to mint, certainly not this one. :c)

    Gorgar's heart beats no more.

    No sir, he has never spent a day of his life out in the cold since I've owned him (20yrs) and was stored in a warehouse from a failed pizza shop before me. I put a couple pics of the mpu and sound boards, the power board is good as well it's just that driver board that shows it's age. I'm just...

    Gorgar's heart beats no more.

    Hi there No sir, all the other boards are next to mint. The driver board must of been when the postman dropped by and rang twice. The more I look at the driver board the more I just want to replace it. There are many questionable areas and far too much to fix cheaper than buying another one...

    Hello to all. Let me tell you about my buddy Gorgar. He has been with me for 20 years and played perfect for the first 12 years until he started getting sick. I shut him down and pulled his batteries 7 or 8 years back figuring when there was a point in my broke arse pay to pay life that I may...

    Hello to all and welcome to my nightmare.

    Hi, thanks for the tips. Batteries are good, installed correct and no corrosion anywhere on or around the battery holder. I keep getting strange non consistent reactions when doing the on off open close hoe down and then I noticed something on the driver board that may be screwing with...

    Hello to all and welcome to my nightmare.

    Thanks for the welcome. I didn't want to throw my dirty laundry all over the floor in the intro section, figured I'd throw the whole story out in the appropriate area. To answer your question, yes, he does seem to power up, but he just seems to be "on" and not in attract mode showing only the...

    Hello to all and welcome to my nightmare.

    Just thought I'd toss a quick intro your way then it's off to lurk in the forum to see if I can find any obvious answers to the problems my poor Gorgar has been experiencing before I pester you with ?'s. I have been a proud owner of Gorgar for almost twenty years and you'll probably have to...
