Hi everyone. I have 2 Tempest PCBs that I could use some assistance with. I am NOT an electronics guy, so my tech skills aren't great. The first one is working and playable. It has an odd habit though of resetting for no appearent reason. This usually happens in the red or yellow tubes. Game will be playing right along and ZAP! resets and goes into attract mode. I've swapped AUX boards, reflowed solder on the interconnect cable connections, swapped ROMS sd well as the other socketed chips and still get the odd reset... Any ideas? Board number 2 has a graphics issue. PCB coins up and plays but the display is squished into a bent line. Checked the vector trimmer pots and they seem ok. Also did the same swapping of parts on this PCB that I did on the first. LMK if anyone would like a pic of the screen. Thanks in advance! -Steve P.
