Gorf - power supply rebuild

I got the Gorf going with the switcher kit from ArcadeShop. Worked ok, but neither the joystick light nor the rank lights were working. I thought, for the cost of the p/s repair kit from Bob Roberts, I could use the switcher for something else.

Here is the board, as I got it, non-working:

A couple of the larger caps were split. Repair kit from Bob:

I installed all of the parts. Instead of just soldering the new LM339 in, I used machine pin socket strips. I also replaced the connector headers, as the originals were grey in places.
