I have not tested it in a Astro Blaster game, although there is a
small 8pin (555 timer) chip on the power supply board that simulates
the 60hz ac signal which is used by the G80 system in...
I’m pretty sure that is 100% correct in fact Matt J who looked at my boards twice used his Star Trek cage to power my boards with a monitor from another game sitting on the floor that was roster
