If Only I Had Some More Solder

Cold solder joints, no flux, not enough solder can cause electrical issues. But the flip side is that way too much solder and sloppy, careless soldering will drive you insane when troubleshooting. Take a look inside the cabinet of Williams Space Mission. Some hopeful hobbiest tried to so some soldering repairs, blindly apparently. It led to many problems during our servicing of this game. The adventure continues...

Soldering equivalent of booger welds lol. Id bet it was the ol' "used a butter knife and a propane torch" to solder it.

It's ok to NOT know how to solder, but if you know you're horrible at it, not a great idea to do anything on the bottom of the playfield that is going to pour onto the motor board below. Weeks spent tracing new problems to hidden solder splatter. Thanks for watching!
