I've done a little more clean up on the game. I read somewhere that Simple Green was the cleaner of choice for getting smoke stains off old games. I wouldn't have believed it unless I'd seen it for myself. I had already wiped everything down several times using other cleaners. In the picture below, you can see the uncleaned portion on the lower left portion of the door...
The same day I cleaned the outside, I cleaned all of the connectors and a good number of the step-up units. If you're curious what the inside looks like, check these out. Notice the nice shiny contact rivets on the SU in the last photo.
Here's a closer look at the burned up coil...
I've ordered a new solenoid coil as well as schematics and 100 replacement bulbs. They should be here tomorrow. I'm looking forward to working on it this weekend!
