Fixed a bootleg Gyruss by creating a bypass pcb to replace the encrypted Konami1 cpu with a regular 6809E and decrypting the sub cpu rom.

Pcb gerbers and rom patch available here:

Had to change capacitors in a Timber power suitcase to get rid of a big monitor hum bar, so decided to give it a fresh coat of paint while it was out.

Unpacked a great big order from Marco Specialties for all of the current ongoing projects.

I seem to do one order a year from them, and every time, they screw something up. This time was no different; they sent me 25 of the wrong coil sleeves. Waiting on their solution; I really don’t want to have to drive to New York or spend a bunch of money on a postal return that I shouldn’t have to.

I probably should know better by now.
