Sites with PCB photographs

[trm]

Our member VectorGlow has very kindly contributed a list of sites he's collected which contain PCB photographs. A useful resource for identifying unknown boards that you can't romident, trying to determine whether a board is original or booty or just for interest.

If you have any more sites which are relevant, please post to the bottom of the thread and your post will be incorporated into this post.

Stefan Lindberg's collection - a limited selection but, more to the point, those listed are of excellent quality, most of the pics being about 8 MBytes in size!

http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/
MAWS - the MAME database. Look up a game and there's often a link to a pic of the PCBs.

http://www.crazykong.com/pcbs/
Crazykong - a good, comprehensive selection of PCB pics of assorted quality.

http://arcadecollecting.xmission.com/pcbpics/
arcadecollecting - very good selection of PCB pics, listed by manufacturer.

http://www.vernimark.com/arcade/default.asp?PageMode=3&Tog=5 - contains other useful information too.

http://www.citylan.it/lista.php - Italian, but pretty simple to navigate. Photo's are on the individual board pages.

http://pcbdb.net/ - Still growing, but some useful data.

http://coinoparcade.com/pcbs/ - Basic site with a good range but some pictures are quite small, others much larger.

http://www.robotron-2084.co.uk/techwilliamshardwareid.html - Williams PCB Identification pages on Dave Langley's website

http://www.tvspels-nostalgi.com/ - good selection of pics and docs. In Swedish but translate.google.com is your BFF.

http://www.arcade-museum.com/pcb_list.php - requires login.

http://www.dsbelec.iinet.net.au/Asteroids_Rev_Taito.jpg - Taito Asteroids high-res, similar to Atari via DezBaz.

I have an on-line database here:

http://www.arcaderestoration.com/FindPcbs.aspx

and here:

http://www.arcaderestoration.com/BrowsePCB.aspx

Anyone can sign up as a contributor and add additional PCB's if they wish. They can also add meta data about the boards to make searching for unknown boards easier.

I also have one for Arcade Parts in General here:

All of these can be tied into Repair Logs which can be found here:
