A while ago I bought a bunch of pcb's from an old arcade and since then I have repaired several of them and have learned a lot about arcade pcb's. One of them has been waiting for me to look at and was begging for some attention. A Ghosts 'n goblins bootleg. I know bootlegs are sometimes frowned upon, but try to find an original gng for a decent price... Also I consider bootlegs a part of history so these too deserve to be saved and preserved. This bootleg is actually very good and as far as I can see a 1-1 copy of the original.
It was in pretty bad state though, a lot of corrosion so before even building a jamma adapter and powering it up I decided to do some maintenance first.
You can see the roms a totally gone from rust and I removed one of the roms and several of the legs broke off. Also the cpu and the 2 sound ic's have corrosion and some of the ram and some of the logic ic's.
