I'm investigating my Bally Star Trek's sound board. It lost sound some time ago and I had hoped it's the typical solder cracks in the big Molex KK connector but nope. Looks like I have to do actual head scratching here.
I hear a hum that changes depending what's on the displays, which is normal and tells me that at least the amp works and the speaker is connected.
This one is going to at least get recapped before it goes back.
