Does anyone else own a MK game board?

I just got a UMK3 machine and I noticed one thing right away, there are a bunch of eproms that don't have any sticker cover over the rom crystals, they're completely viewable. Is anyone elses board like this? I'm curious if it's the same way with other MK boards (I imagine taking a picture of it would be bad?)

I just sold a UMK3 board and noticed the eproms as well. I think all of the chips are eproms, the stickers just cover them up. Since the stickers are extremely fragile after 10 years, they fall right off and expose the crystals. Judging by the empty sockets on mine, I think many Midway games use the same boardsets and just stuck eproms onto them.
As long as the stickers say Midway on them, they're probably not a bootleg or anything like that.

I'll just get some new stickers to cover them up. coincidentally one of them already went bad
