Installing the Star Wars/Empire Strikes Back kit
« on: April 14, 2012, 11:37:20 AM »
A few weeks/months back, I received a nice M. Spaeth SW/ESB kit from Rav, finally I had time to install it yesterday.
Dom also sent me a nice and detailed manual, it was a piece of cake to install it, even for a noob like me. :D
Let's see what we have here:

Removed all the necessary chips for the process:

Installed the 3 daughterboards and the bipolar eproms

And a tiny microswitch from a pc mouse for changing the games (I won't have to) ;D

Abdré told me, that this wire could be a problem upon  reisntalling the pcb to the cab, so I used extra caution

The mini switch

Ready to Rock & Roll!!!! :D

Thanks to rav for the kit and to André for the useful installing tips. ;)

i watched a youtube video a few days ago on how to install the SW/ESB kits and it was fairly easy to follow.Can't remember the name of who did the video (think it was some American guy if i remember rightly ?) but the way he explained it,it was so straight forward  8)
