Joust switches

I've got apparently stuck play switches. The cp is fine, though. IIRC,
there's a possible bad IC responsible, yes? Suggestions would be
appreciated.

yes, the "widgit" board could have a bad PIC on it. They're fairly easily
replacable (you can get them from bob roberts).

on the other hand, widgits are fairly readily available and aren't that
expensive so you have your choice (it's about $20 cheaper to fix it yourself
vs buy a working one).

PIA, not PIC.

With how poorly made the williams boards are, if it's not socketed, there's
a good chance you'll rip up a lot of traces when you remove it.

Corroded connections/connectors @ the widget PCB. Very common (is it a

Nope. It's the cabinet you split with me, but with the control panel
from the *previous* cabinet we both moved back in 1994. I'll check it
all this weekend.
