Full instructions on what to check are already posted in this thread. How about re-reading the posts?

I did. I know what to check according to the instructions herein. Alas, being new to this, I'm not sure yet HOW. That's what I need to figure out. I located this:
http://store.wholesaler-depot-2.com/602-010.html
And I'm assuming that's a decent price for that based on the person that recommended it. So my next step is to order that and learn how to use it.
RayB:
Well Chad,
Step one is checking fuses. You do that by looking at them to see if they've burnt up. The metal filament in the glass tube will be broken. If it's not broken, it's still good.
That's step one.
Step two is checking if you even have an Audio Regulator II board in there. It's about 12 inches by 6 inches and seperate from the game's main circuit board.

When I picked the machine up I took a peek at the fuses. They looked intact based on initial inspection but I didn't really look hard. I'll review that tonight and check for the ARII board.
RayB:
The other non-technical things to check for are disconnected or broken wires, rust on the fuse clips, etc. If everything appears to be hooked up correctly, then you'll have to get a multimeter and start measuring power levels...
Oh and I'd highly recommend you go and download the PDF of the manual for that specific game. Atari did a great job of including diagrams and detail parts lists. Should help you get familiarized with what's what.

Got them at KLOV... I'm going to assume here that the Asteroids manual will be accurate for Asteroids Deluxe, too...
