Are you a Super Sprint fan also? I *LOVE* that game! Are you restoring one now?

I picked up one in very good shape for 20 yrs old.  I went with a friend to a reseller he wanted a sitdown Turbo.  However when we got there they had Super Sprint in excellent shape.  I was a big fan back in the teen years.  However, I just picked up a Pole Position II sitdown a few weeks ago and I was going to make it a MAME driver.  I really loved Super Sprint I knew that I could not convince my wife to add a 4th game.  So, I sold the PP2 to my friend and he helped me move the Super Sprint into it's new home. 


It works now with some bugs.  II can see some electrical damage on the video board but it looks as if a repair was made at some time. 

Now I am almost sure that either the video board is not outputting RED signals or the monitor is not displaying RED.

I really want try to isolate and fix the display problems but I don't have the Schematics.  I'm looking for a source or perhaps someone who could scan and email me a set.

Best of luck with your repairs -- keep us posted!

My usual source for manuals and schematics is Mike's Arcade (http://www.mikesarcade.com"), but he doesn't seem to have a Super Sprint set.

Thanks guys.  I stopped by Mikesarcade and Atarijeff before posting.  I'm at a dead end at this point.

I believe that Championship Sprint would use the same PCB but I am not turning that up either.

Don't know if you've found CrazyKong.com guys, but that's an (although ugly) great site for finding manuals and pinouts to games.

Great site this will definitely stay in my favorites list.  I really appreciate the help. 

They had Sprint 1, Sprint 2 and Championship Sprint, but no Super Sprint. 

I am still scouring the internet....

I wanted to make one more pass and see if anyone has any more advice as to where to find Schematics for Atari Super Sprint.

Mikesarcade, Atarijeff and CrazyKong are awesome sites and have been very helpfull but I still can't locate the correct set of prints.
