Asteroids Restoration -- Hardware 100% / Starting Cab work...
mcfreak:
Curiosity got the best of me now that I have all the components working I had to go back and plug in that Phoenix PCB just to be sure. Yup, still blows that one fuse so I am done with it.
Hooked everything back up the the Asteroids PCB and all is well. Now to move on to the woodworking and the cabinet restore...

Yeah, I love it when a classic is brought back to life ! Well done, I know EXACTLY how you felt when that picture came up for the first time ! (And also how you felt when you discovered your mistake with the insulation on the transistors, you're VERY lucky that didn't do more damage !! Thos resistors look frightening !!! How did you still dare to take a picture, I would have shut it down immediately instead :laugh:
Are these pictures of the playing game a bit out of focus ? Else try to adjust the focus control on (or near) the HV transformer......
Again congratulations, I'll follow this thread :D

Yeah, I knew I didn't have a clue if they were supposed to be like that or not... Felt like a big goof!
The focus on the HV does nothing if I turn it either way so I still have something not right on the HV unit... However, I am still just super excited it plays. Just a few more games and then I will troubleshoot that issue. I read your thread and saw you got a few games in before you finished your electronics work. ;)

Very true !!! it shows how good these games are, it's so hard to stop playing !! :D

So there are two pots on the HV board for the Vector monitor. One is adjustable through a small hole in the cover and looks to be a large pot. That one seems to do nothing.
The second is a small metal pot on the board which looks to me like it "zooms" in and out the picture. That isn't focus is it?
