Spyridon:
First thing to do is to get this game working.

Still had the AA batteries in it.  Some corrosion going on here, but doesn't look like any of the components got damaged


Power supply has had some work done to it.  Burnt pin and the wire soldered directly to it. 


When I fire up the game, the +5v light is out on the power supply and the CPU has a ram error.

Time for a power supply rebuild

Spyridon:
The Robotron power supply I did was much simpler than this.  This one had issues

BR1 was blown
IC1 was blown
IC2 was blown
4J3 was burnt



and now...



At the same time, I upgraded the ram from 4116 to 4164 (including adding in the required power adapter). 


I also put in a lithium battery

Spyridon:
Powered the game up and still had a ram error.  Turned out one of the 4164 rams I put in was bad.  Swapped that out with a new one and the game fired up!   :applaud:

The monitor has a perfect picture on it which is a nice surprise (I hate capping monitors)

This is hard game but I'm having fun playing it (in the limited free time I seem to have right now).  Love the speech. 

The only issue now is that it is not saving high scores.  Anyone know hat to get your name on the Sinimortals list?  I can get on the bottom section in the Survivors Today list but not on top?  Also, when I power off, none of the lower scores (which makes sense as they are daily) are saved.

How many plays on the coin counter?

Zero!  But that's because the Williams games don't use them.  I'll check the book keeping stats to see if it gives a total, but I think those can be reset.

Regarding the HUO claim, it wasn't the reason I purchased this and he didn't even mention it until I had it loaded up in my truck.  Really no reason not to believe him but in the end, it doesn't matter.
