1980 Atari Battlezone


I love Battlezone!!
 This is the cabaret version which is pretty rare,it looks like its been in storage for quite a while,the PCB is clean a bit of damage to the lower part of the cabinet.
 The only thing working on this is the marquee light ,monitor board has a red LED which lights up but no life.
 I`m being disciplined.
 Continue with the Night Driver restore,then on to the luvverly Battlezone!!
 I sneakily added the High score kit to the PCB(Tee!Hee!)
  Ok So I got the game playing blind,a couple of fuses and using the Ar2 power supply hack-
Now Im working on the Monitor.There was a 5amp fuse out on the monitor board replaced that and no Joy -The watchdog LED is still lit.
 Doing a little research as the monitor is getting power but no video signal.
 This is the scary monitor with the 12,000 volts -I bought a high voltage probe to discharge it and it worked - although it did give me the thrill of the discharge again;)
