Just wanted to give thanks to Scott for giving me the bug to mess with some electronics again. I used to do some of the Radio Shack projects when I was a kid but since then it's just been basic guitar stuff like pickups & pots. I've been listening to the show for about a year & thought it might be useful to try and get familiar with repairing some of this stuff. I picked up an ailing PC Engine Duo on the cheap & replaced all of the SMD caps. Many of them had leaked but the pads & traces were all still OK. Long story short it now works just fine!
Edit: Of course I meant for this to go in the Pinball Wizard section ....

Yep, Ole Scott is good at that. I am surprised his ears are not burning from my wife cussing him out after giving me the bug to find a arcade machine cab to make a multiarcade out of
