Wico sticks

The "new old stock" Wico sticks arrived today - that is good. These are what the Robotron cabinet originally had before someone replaced them with Happ Competition sticks:
  • Leaf switches
  • 4" handles
  • Red ball top

Since I finished rebuilding the power supply, I thought I'd post a final picture of the board. Many things have been replaced, including the big yellow capacitor. It was still working OK, so I'm keeping it around just in case it becomes useful.

Actually there was one more change to the board after I took this pic. I removed the R10 resistor in order to increase the 5v power. Previously the RAM was getting 4.95v, but now it gets 5.05v.
