resolder all the molex pins on the AUX board just for being a nice game
owner, this probabaly won't solve the problem, but it probably needs it.
  Now, Clean all the edge connectors on the AUX PCB and make sure it
isn't a problem there. When it is not working see if you have +5V at the
encoder PCB.

PS, I did get your other emails Jeff, I have to think about the MH
problem a bit more before writing back. Nice Quantum page!
