    John. DUDE. I'm telling ya, OFFLOAD ALL OF THE +5 in that Paperboy to a modern switcher. Replace the power input headers on both boards with square pins, replace the connectors, and use trifurcon pins. That ARIII struggles to properly power that bottom board even when it's working. Also, your fan is in the wrong place. It's supposed to be mounted on the back of the cab blowing upwards onto the ARIII's heatsink when the door is closed. But, if you offload the +5 you won't even need the fan. :) You do need to fix the connections on that transformer assy and make sure your ARIII is at least passing +10.3 to "power OK" on the cpu board.
    You've got my number dude, call me if you need to!

    ...About that Red Alert game:
    Upon firing it up in MAME after the mention, I learned it's based on the early Irem game WWIII (...you unfortunately read right, that's the roman numeral for 3).
    It does have the advantage of the HC-55516 sound chip, enabling the voice of a military higher-up narrating your mission with each new stage; that's an advanced thing for 1981.

    Cool to see this vid as the otherside to that day, when I saw the TnF etc in Jays van that niht i didnt realize it was yours, then they filled me in. Looking forward to checking out this vid. Oh wait this is the strap on vid we watched at dinner hahahaha Right on. So it was the Power Brick, yea i rebuilt my PP2 Brick and replaced all the quick connects on the fuse block and on that 20A fuse I went with solder instead to deal with the extra heat. Great to see your Paperboy coming along, really got a lot done.
    Take care man,

    You don't need to replace a fuse holder if you are going to replace a fuse holder use surface mount fuses on a stripper circuit board and solder your connectors not crimped.
    But really they just need cleaning with some green emery paper wire wool or fibreglass eraser or a green scouring pad and bending the terminalsin to make sure they were tight fit to the fuse and solder the connectors. Replace the hot resistor for 3 4 watt resistor only looks like a 1 watt resistor at the most not enough

You loved the sunlight in your other games. Don't stoop to the old crappy looking orange glow of the warm whites.
