			\| width="85%" valign="top" \| At some point things started flaking out again - video worked but the XY board's "over voltage" LED would constantly kick in and video would be like a strobe light. This time became aware of [https://www.arcadeshop.com/i/1900/vector-wars-multigame-pcb.htm Vector Wars], which is a full replacement PCB which has additional benefits. Got this and immediately fixed. Leaving old mobo in it for history.


			Also rebuilt much of the yolk and it now works better than it has in the past.

Here's the status log of the machine, documenting all work done to it.

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:left"
|-
| width="15%" align="right" valign="top" | ''August ??, 2002''
| width="85%" valign="top" | Mark comes and gets the entire thing working. It works like a champ! See the [http://falz.net/gallery2/v/users/falz/starwars-cabinet/ pictures]!
|-
| width="15%" align="right" valign="top" | ''August 6, 2002''
| width="85%" | Mark came to pick up the flyback and HV board to install. Also, I had received my BU406D's and it shall be replaced as well. He was happy to have all of the documentation that I gave him (thanks to all who wrote the Amplifone guide), so I'm hoping for the best. He should be back to test it this week.

| width="85%" | The flyback has arrived in three days indeed! I've scanned the [http://falz.net/cabinet/docs/wintron docs that came with it] since I've not seen them elsewhere on the internet. I've called Mark to come and install the flyback, so it should hopefully be going in shortly. Also, it seems that the ''BU406D'' transistor likes to go when the flyback does, so I ordered some.

|-
| width="15%" align="right" valign="top" | ''July 22, 2002''
| width="85%" | I order the flyback from [http://www.wintrontech.com/ Wintrontech]. It should take three days.
|-
| width="15%" align="right" valign="top" | ''July 19, 2002''
| width="85%" | I call mark to find out if he's found anything; unfortunately he has not. He is willing to install the replacement flyback, however. I also let him know that I have a troubleshooting guide which I found on the internet for the HV board. For some reason, he doesn't use the internet for any information on arcade games. Strange!
|-
| width="15%" align="right" valign="top" | ''July 11, 2002''
| width="85%" | Mark comes and installs the parts. Unfortunately, it is still not functional. He beleives that the flyback is bad (it's the original red one, from what I've read, it certainly seems that it should not have lasted this long in the first place). He says he will attempt to find a replacement of the HV board via his contacts. I tell him of the wintrontech replacement, he had never heard of it but beleives that $190 is a rediculous price. He believes that an entire monitor and HV board replacement should be had for that. This is probably true for most other raster games, but obviously not for this specific one.
|-
| width="15%" align="right" valign="top" | ''July 3, 2002''
| width="85%" | I track down Mark, the repair guy. Fortunately he still has the parts. He replaced some caps on the HV board hoping that it will fix the problem (''did I mention that the problem is that it has no video?'')
|-
| width="15%" align="right" valign="top" | ''June 29, 2002''
| width="85%" | The machine comes in to my possession. Its previous owner started a repair attempt, so its HV board and deflector board were missing and are in the possesion of a local repair guy.
