Everything else on that dip seems to work but switch 8. I think I'll just leave it and turn down the volume. : p

The restore itself is finally complete -- this included painting the front, back and top of the cab, coin door, full control panel restore, new blackout bezel (thanks Carl), high score save kit, and general gut tweaks. I left the original side art and bezel art alone.

I've yet to find a top marquee bracket or Centuri coin door (that isn't $200), and swapping out the speakers would be nice but haven't found a suitable replacement yet. Later on I would like to get back to trying to fix the PCB it came, but need a rom burner and general test rig.

Thanks for everyone's help on this! It's now cozy'd up to the wall in my workshop and plays great.

NICE! I have a Gyruss myself, and it needs to be restored badly. I have done a few small things like painting the coin door, but I have a ton of things to do with it.
Great game, you'll enjoy it.

Thanks, yeah it's a fun game to return to repeatedly. And thanks John for your videos, your Gyruss series was my template and a huge help.
