      The main things are to just take it slow and think about it before you do anything, and try to eliminate all the impossible answers like Sherlock Holmes talked about :) "When you eliminate all that is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth". So if all the info is messed up and we know it's not the display itself, and the ribbon cables are also running the sound board which still works fine... it's something catastrophic, and on a video game bad ram will cause all kinds of trash on the display, it kind of had to be the Ram everything else was eliminated...

      yeah there was really nothing holding that in, very weird way to do it.... I think maybe he had something in the bed of his truck under the pinball and the sheer weight of the machine busted it through the bottom. I don't know how many of these you've moved but these widebodies like this are about the heaviest damn things ever built, I wouldn't be surprised if it's over 300 pounds. The Gottlieb ones seem even heavier, and I've heard the Jersey Jack ones are like Morbidly Obese or something.

      After the theatrical Popeye cartoon series ceased production in 1957, Bluto's name was changed to Brutus because it was incorrectly believed that Paramount Pictures, distributors of the Fleischer Studios cartoons, owned the rights to the name “Bluto”.

    This is 1994 hardware, Youssi did the spectacular art. Youssi and the allmighty Chris Granner did the sound/music
    on the 'White Water' pinball which is my favourite and that I owned once upon a time. Had to sell it due to economics
    and I regret it to this day. The playfield was in mint condition. =(
    The first half of the 1990's had the best pinballs IMO.

    Gold plating has to be on both sides of the connection. Both the pins and the sockets other wise you're losing all of the benefits of the gold. You also start to run into dissimilar metals problems. Most IDC connectors like the ones you have are tin plated because it's cheaper. Are the pin headers on your PCB's gold or silver colored.

    If you ever have a chance to go back and watch the better Popeye cartoons from the 1930s and 1940s, that stuff holds up today!
    It's one of the better series of animated shorts ANYONE has made, especially during Popeye's golden age in the 1930s and early 1940s.
    The Disney stuff, unless it's Goofy and Donald Duck, isn't that good.
    The Looney Tunes were at their best in the 1940s but Popeye had the best series in the 1930s.
    Good news, too -- this isn't kids stuff and Popeye doesn't get old quick like most of the stuff made in the last 20 years has!

      The Popeye cartoons are a better series than the Boopster, though.
      I have the Popeye DVD sets Warner Bros released in the 2000s as well as all the Blu rays (3 so far) they did of the color Popeye shorts in the 1940s.
      They've all held up but the B&W shorts done in the 1930s really are the best. There were things I saw as a kid in the late 1970s/early 1980s that I finally saw again because 75% of this stuff will NEVER air on Cartoon Network because it's not new material. Has nothing to do with political correctness and ALL to do with those programming executives getting royalties for new programming!
      Popeye really is better than at least 85% of the animated series made in the last 50 years, easily! (The 1960s Popeye TV series DOES suck, though! Hahahaha. Stick with the Fleischer animated shorts!)
      I remember also playing that Popeye videogame in the 1980s. Damn, that was a hard game to play!

      Those sumbitches are still around trying that, Wimpy was the first crackhead! People come in my shop "Hey man, I've got this really nice set of Floor Mats for a 2002 Honda Accord, they're almost brand new, you think you could loan me $8 and then I'll come back and buy them from you for $12 Friday?"
