Being first impressions are everything; this first impression has left a huge rotten taste in my mouth, especially with spending over $280 with shipping on it. I do not recommend this "replacement" board because it doesn't seem to work. I tried the suggested replug the connections multiple times, around 30 times, I lost count after trying this method over a few hours, which absolutely got on my nerves! So I just put the original board back in. Did the Rottendog board seem to fix the flash lamp transistor problem? YES! Did it actually work for 10 minutes or more without turning itself off? NO! Does the original Stern board work without turning off? ABSOLUTELY! So until I see one of these boards working in my machine I rate this product a NO STAR out 5! So far this is just a huge waste of time and money!
I spoke with Jim at Rottendog and he sent me a replacement board which I tried today, same as last board the first time I hit the mysterball ball it blew the fuse, it ran for 5 min and did the exact same thing as the last one….shut off! I don’t care what they say at this point –this board is NOT for the Sharkey’s Shootout machine!
