I've got a Centaur Standard.  Looking for info or pics of the boards. Trying to revive it.

I'll try to shrink my pics.  This bad boy is a nightmare lol. I tried to recap it and may have missed one in the process. It's got like 6 different boards. Very very early electronic setup.

I can’t wait to see if this is like a Bally V1000 series or like a Sigma.

Wow. Gotta poke around all the transistors and look for shorts.
Check capacitors for dead shorts or excessive ESR.
Look closely at the trace side of all boards for breaks or loose solder joints.

I have one that I took off and not sure if it got replaced correctly. Couldn't find where it was on the pics i took.  Been messing with a couple other more modern ones and I'll get back to that mess later.
