@@ThePinballNoob no, it’s been solid ever since. I LED’d mine too so the drop in current loads will likely mean those connections will last indefinitely now. Always good to fix it right. It kinda puzzles me when I come across hack jobs like those soldered wires instead of fixing it right. Not really all that much more work to do it right and reliable.
Thanks for the advice, I actually ended up replacing that too after the fact (when I did the capacitor replacements at the very end follow-up bit). Not sure if it was bad enough to cause problems, but it's never a bad thing to replace it with a new one!
Back in action!
This is proof that you watched the whole video
Nice work! I had the same crispy connectors on my DE TMNT. Definitely satisfying when all fixed with fresh headers and connectors.
Yes, and a big improvement over soldering the wires straight to the boards! Have you had any trouble since fixing yours?

Happy to help! Thank you!
You're the best when it comes to pinball repair!
The transparent drop targets look so good it’s a shame they break
Gotta suffer for fashion
The 12 pin header looks a little crispy as well on your power supply.

@ThePinballNoob good prevention. The DE PSU is pretty reliable once you replace the caps and headers you replaced.
Have you looked into art blades? Like from Tilt Graphics? They’re pretty sweet.
There might be something along those lines coming up soon...
