Correct. (look on the bright side, at least it was easy to
get out of the cabinet!)

Correct. It looks pretty good to me. Every one I've seen looks dirty.

Yes, and that's where. If you look closely in the manual, it has
detailed information on the power supply sections.
- One is a regular cine power supply
- One is a regular cine power supply w/ the +5 section depopulated.
- One is the audio amp
- One is an external linear regulator

Yes; at least mine does.

The board may very well reduce the levels, as I'm sure it adds some
attenuation. However, if you look closely in the manual, it specifies
alternate values for resistors on the game board, depending on which
monitor is installed in the cabinet. It was designed to work with a
WG as well as the G08.

P.S. I haven't had time to write you, but I could use a G80
extender (built or not). LMK details privately. Thx.
