Asteroids Restoration -- Hardware 100% / Starting Cab work...
theCoder:
I'm no oscilloscope jockey, but it looks like you've got a starting point for your repairs. Maybe you'll get lucky and it will fire up after these fixes. Good luck with it.
The Chugnut:
Really interesting project Mr Mcfreak. Can't wait to see the conclusion to the mystery!

I believe there is at least one; it was a bootleg that ran on the Lunar Lander hardware apparently :dizzy:
EDIT: Linky
BobA:
That extra board looks like a standard jamma finger board. Could your cab been reworked with a jamma harness? Seems a bit weird for a vector game but who knows what that cab has been through? Just thinking maybe the board in your cab is not even a vector game. Maybe it never worked.
mcfreak:
I was thinking down that path as well. The vector monitor is obv still there so I am not sure what is going on. I will do the repairs tonight and see if I still blow the fuse and then go from there.
Level42:
Follwing your steps closely.
The only reason I can think of why they cut the cab is that maybe it has been moved to or out of a place that wouldn't allow it to be normally moved in/out. I have the same problem with my stairs in my house. I could manage to get an Atari Domino's up there (with the marquee box removed) but no-way I'm going to get any other cab like Galaxian, Mario Bros etc. up there. It's because of a turn in the stairs....
That disc capacitor is probably only there for filtering, I'd repair it but don't expect wonders of it. THe traces are definitely a problem though...
Search http://www.system16.com/ for maybe a PCB that looks like yours ....
