Troubleshooting your Tempest Machine, by Gregg Woodcock
This article is Copyright worldwide 1991, 1995; all rights reserved.
This is a file I have put together which should get you started on
repairing your non-working Atari Tempest game. It lists all the
problems I have seen and lots of information from the various manuals.
Monitor failures are much more common than game board failures (in fact,
I find the game boards to be fairly robust) and that topic is so lengthy
that it is covered in another

These pinouts should work for Frenzy as well. To switch games, you should
only have to switch the ZPU-1000 board. I believe the Frenzy board is
ZPU-2000.
The complete boardset includes these 6 boards:
ZPU-1000 [CPU/ROMs]
SB-1000 [Amp]
VSU-1000 [Sound/Voice]
BSC-1000 [Video]
VFB-1000 [Video + Controls]

Adapter to plug Asteroids Deluxe board into Asteroids harness
Inspired from the recent posting on converting a Gravitar/Black Widow to a Tempest/Major Havoc, I've decided to document a similar conversion to and from Asteroids Deluxe. This is a simpler conversion than the aforementioned Tempest hackery, but you should still read everything first and be sure you understand what you're doing before proceeding. Although I can't guarantee 24-hour delivery, I'll also try to respond to any questions you may have...
Credit goes to Rick Schieve and Steve Ozdemir for letting

Conversion of Galaxians from AC to DC by Paul Swan
This is what I did to convert my "Galaxians" before building a wiring harness to convert it to JAMMA. One of my boards had three of the four 7V AC supply edge connector fingers burnt away and so I "commendeered" the coin counter/lockout +7V DC supply pins to improve the power distribution. All the wire links added were 1mm solid core domestic wiring cable, rated 15A, unless stated otherwise. Remove IR2 (78GU I.C.) Remove IR1 (D44VM4 transistor) Remove R88 (50Ohm 5W resistor) Replace

POWER SUPPLY REPAIR
Copyright November, 1994 by Randy Fromm We live in a "disposable society." Disposable razors, lighters, pens and a myriad of other items are a part of our daily life. Many operators consider power supplies to be disposable as well. Their rumored inability to be repaired and relatively low cost create the impression of disposability. This is not the case, however. I repair lots of power supplies and it's really quite easy and practical. In fact, a repaired supply may end up having a longer l
