MonoPoly restoration - thus far...

[random variate]

Yep, the schematics help... Considerably!

Here's some pics of the metal threaded insert solution to attach end cheeks, the screwholes are now countersunk, and have used funky black hex head machine screws.

Next, cut some softwood to make 'rails' which will attach to the inside of the end cheeks, so that the front panel can rest on them, and then bolt in. Won't be much fun, but this is a labour of love.

Hope the pics attach ok...

Hi,
I have some tools as multimeter, solder station  ..etc (not the best quality on the market ) and have few knowledge of electronics,
but still I didn’t manage to fix an Hammond ( not a b3 or b4 :) that I got in France …
Some keys are working some don t … It was working before but it didn t like the move from the Netherlands to France I guess …
 I checked the board, cleaned the dust and checked some component stuff, connections etc … but no, I did not find the issue.
Maybe a chip is dead ...
I think,  it may be easier if I had the drawing of the PCB …
or one of those temperature tool that the guy got ( seems quite practical ) …

Well it is in france, and I am in the Netherlands …  so hmm … It seems it won t be fix soon …

Let us know the evolution of your sexy MonoPoly  !!!

:P
