Is this the one on KLOV that's priced as if it's working?
It's on KLOV, and priced at $125 or something. Isn't a working board more than double that?
I'm not real familiar with Tatsujin/Truxton (or Ou/II) prices, but I've heard Tatsujin Ou is $600+, the original is at least half that, and the Truxtons are slightly but not much cheaper. Not really my wheelhouse, but I figured it'd be fun to try if it was cheap enough.
You could maybe reflow the custom chip. If that is shot, it's done. Word to the wise, don't buy broken Toaplan or Raizing boards. You most likely will not be able to fix them.
Ok, I kinda figured maybe bad surface mount joints, but it sounds like it's probably not worth the risk. Thank you very much for the tip!
