The connector from the DL CPU to the disk player is composed of a ribbon
cable, a 24-pin DIP ribbon connector, and a 24-pin Centronics ribbon
connector. The #1 wire of the ribbon cable may go to the #1 pin of the
centronics connector, but then must connect to the #12 pin on the 24-
pin DIP connector. Yes, surprise me, but the cable is reversed.

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

Troubleshooting your Tempest Machine, by Gregg Woodcock

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
