Its a long list ...lol
Started with the power supply 5 volt drifting up with heat, so I installed the twisty wrist rebuild kit and the 30 volt proceeded to spike to 46 volts. The sound board I'm sure now needs to be rebuilt along with the power supply (and maybe the main pcb as well)  :(.

Ah i got the power supply fixed  :) bad solder/connection on the zener diode wasn't pulling the 48v down. So yay the game works again...partially, just no sound :(
Does someone repair these boards? I can try shotgunning the amp.
