First, If it ain't broke don't fix it right? I learned my lesson on the
High Speed.
> b)... are all the caps on the sound board stock?
Yes they are but there is no hum on the sound so why mess with it? I've
had this in my collection for about a year now and have not had one
problem. Again if it ain't broke...
> c) ..is the big 5V filter cap on the PS board stock?
Nope, replaced with a new one when I went through the boards. Chris,
this was the game I got that I asked you about a board set for and then
came across my own set. All of the caps on the PS were replaced

No, those are fuses that were removed durring a system upgrade via
williams.

Hey I thought it looked clean there. I did try to locate it on the
floor but thought it looked messy.

Nope it is due to a KOZ problem. It occurs when you look at an 8.5
million score and know your dad or any of the kids wont ever be able to
touch that score. Hey open the door and hold down a button for a few
seconds and poof no more KOZ there! LOL! :-)

The CPU has brand new header pins and I checked out the female side
before I put it in the basement. I flexed the boards while they were
powering up the game and it never skipped a beat.

In addition, The Lower left power supply connector was replaced with a
4 sided pin. I tried this out on the BK to see if it made any
difference in heat against the trifericon (sp?) connectors and it
didn't. It cost more but hey it was worth a try.

Hope this answers all of your questions.
