Started out with a dead board. No clock signal at all.<br />
Tested the clock pin (2) with the logic probe on the IC 74LS161's at 3A, 4A, 5A, and 6A. 3A and 4A were floating, 5 and 6 were stuck low. Replaced the IC 74LS368 at 1E and the crystal (18.432mhz).<br />

<br />
Got clock activity on 3A and 4A, 5 and 6 still stuck low. <br />
I ended up replacing the 74LS161's at 5A, and 6A, as they were terribly corroded as well, they probably were not bad, but, better to replace now than wait for failure.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cleaned the corrosion around a lot of the other chips, and reflowed solder, did not make any difference.<br />
<br />
Tested IC74LS74 at D2, getting no signal on pin 1 input. Signal should be coming from the IC's at A1 and B1 74 LS164's pin 9 as per the schematics. Both of those had no signal as well. Used the schematic and traced the line back to IC 74259 at 9N pin 9, that pin had a signal. 9N is on the top board, A1, and B1 are on the bottom board, traced both sides back to the ribbon cable for continuity and they checked out. Replaced the ribbon cable as it visually looked awful, had definite corrosion. Also cleaned the pins on the headers, and reflowed the solder on the pins.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
The IC's at 1A and 1B started to get proper signal. Noticed the board had a lot more life at this point, but still no stable picture.<br />
Next step was to check the XOR gates at 3,4,5, and 6B, 6B tested bad, replaced (several of the IC's in that area were bad, ended up replacing a lot of them proactively after this)<br />
<br />
Still getting garbage on screen...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJm0GoNHC0AZKD3dWi242SAthG162yHDs59GL95a5rvUxPBz8OzxLXoSLb-WqQ79d7rfqiamE2jRkWYon5Hbu6J6YolsPVa6X9QV2YrSBftCNh3nalrEnsKFCvLFWK9pSPrxq6/s1600/garbage.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJm0GoNHC0AZKD3dWi242SAthG162yHDs59GL95a5rvUxPBz8OzxLXoSLb-WqQ79d7rfqiamE2jRkWYon5Hbu6J6YolsPVa6X9QV2YrSBftCNh3nalrEnsKFCvLFWK9pSPrxq6/s320/garbage.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Something clearly wrong in the sync area. Back to the schematics.<br />
Pin 12 on IC 7400 at 8L is floating, traced back to IC7404 at 6E pin 6, which was not floating. Again on opposite boards, traced back to ribbon cable again, good continuity, tested the ribbon cable, tested fine, so I reflowed the solder on the headers on both boards, and cleaned the pins, and got good continuity afterward.<br />
Plugged it in, and now get this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Definitely making progress now.<br />
Replaced so far:<br />
74LS161's at 4A, 5A, and 6A (corrosion).<br />
74LS368 at 1E (bad)<br />
18.422 Xtal at 1F<br />
74LS86 at 6B (bad)<br />
Ribbon cable (bad)<br />
<br />
What's left to do?<br />
Starfield background is moving way too fast.<br />
Fix the foldover issue.<br />
Try to install the FourPlay or Video Eight Mods from Macros-Arcade <br />
More to come...<br />
<br />

Did visual inspection of area around 9-P and noticed some damaged traces
on the board (in hindsight, should have done this first)</div>

Got out the meter and did continuity tests on all of the traces and found a bad one (red arrow)<br />

It's difficult to tell from the pictures, but the top of the monitor was quite dim, while the bottom is washed out. Brightness was turned up way too high, but that was the only way the top would be visible, turning down the brightness would cause the top to disappear while the bottom would still be washed out. <br />

Need to do a cap kit, throw on a CPO, and maybe some new leg levelers and t-molding. Might do a joystick rebuild too, but to be honest after playing for a few hours it felt pretty good. Player 1 start button is a little finicky, but probably just needs to be adjusted or cleaned. Other than that I think I will leave as is. I could re-stencil it, but I probably won't. I like the character.

So it had to come off.<br />
<br />
(note:the bondo on the right side of the pic was not done by me, it was one of the sections that the artwork was missing.)<br />

Surprisingly in good shape, They managed to mount the World Series panel without cutting up the original panel... wish they would have left the art underneath though... Either way, the Asteroids Deluxe panel should suit our needs quite well.<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe a little paint? Lets start with White, maybe?<br />

World Series the Season in an Asteroids Deluxe.</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
What should we do with this monstrosity?</h3>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Beginning note: Nothing at all was left from the original AD except the power brick, which was actually bypassed and a switching power supply installed, and the control panel, which no longer had an overlay. The cab is in pretty rough shape, probably meant more for the burn pile, but I figured I would have some fun with it, and maybe breathe some new life into this poor neglected beast. So if you are one of those purists who think anything but restoring this back to a pristine Asteroids Deluxe would be blasphemous, you may want to skip this series. No I'm not going to put a 60-1 in this, I said I was going to have some fun, remember?)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So what do we have here? Who in the world thought this was a good idea?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sad part is the Cabinet had to be modified pretty extensively to make this "work" (and I use that term loosely, this thing was a real pain to play) Well time to deconstruct and see what we have here... </span> </span><br />

Hard to tell in these pictures, but it is in really rough shape, and there were areas where it was completely gone. Plus it was starting to pull off of the cabinet (not sure if that was because of the stripper being too aggressive or because of age/wear.<br />

"Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy", the theme music featured a haunting
space-cowboy guitar whine. According to Adams, people besieged the
station / him / etc asking where they could get a hold of the music.<br />
<br />
Adams enjoyed telling them that THEY ALREADY OWNED IT because it was
very likely they'd bought Eagles' "One Of These Nights" and the H2G2
theme, Journey of the Sorcerer, was the last cut on the "other" side of
that album, the side that almost nobody played!JChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09675552447334178690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921016.post-21994613676657375932015-11-18T21:17:00.001-06:002015-11-18T21:18:33.945-06:00New Game Room video upPosted a new game room video showing what is and is not working at the moment...<br />

It's going to take me a while to completely rebuild it, since my ISP decided to take down my site without warning, and I hadn't backed it up in over a year. Lesson learned, I guess.<br />
Still under construction, so if there are any broken links, please be patient, as I am still working to fix everything.<br />

Cool article about the game, sadly I sold it a couple of years ago, and really regret it. <br />
<br />
The video kinda sucks, as the camera I was using wasn't that great, and it's really hard to capture the way the game really looks since it has this half silvered mirror which reflects the game onto this cardboard background. Plus the steering wheel pot was shot, that's why I look like a much worse driver than I really am. <br />
