Sold :) Thanks everyone for looking.

Haha, thanks :)

I wont take offense at your offer if you won't take offense that I don't take it. :)

Oh I meant to say earlier, I am very appreciative for all the help the KLOV folks gave me when I was troubleshooting the machine before I got it working. So I'd much rather it go to a KLOV member... I'd shave $200 off for a KLOV member right off the bat.

Haha, yeah, I don't mind the comments. I assume you guys were talking about that converted lounge chair machine on ebay. Thanks for all the good lucks.

Thanks everyone for all of your helpful suggestions! I ended up sending it to elektronforge. Turned out to be a bad vector generator processor combined with a bad "crystal" (?). Anyways, its working great now and I listed it for sale! http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=134882

A while back I posted for help getting my Star Wars arcade up and running. Well, it's been repaired (by elektronforge) and is running great! Now I'm looking to sell. Here's the text of my craigslist ad... This is an original, working Atari Star Wars arcade machine from 1983. It runs and looks...

Any last ideas? Thanks for all the help!

Also, I have run as much of the diagnostic tests as I am able. The 16 beep test, which checks RAM and ROM, reveals no errors. The on-screen hardware diagnostic, novram, and mathbox tests were all good. From the troubleshooting guide, using the switches on the PCB, The "Main PCB Microprocessor...

Here is a short and very small (cell phone) video of the machine booted up in self-test mode, me switching it to normal play mode, adding a credit and starting the game. So, you can see it "working" and then not working. http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~tm378603/starwars.mov

Thanks for the suggestions. I pulled out the game PCB's and carefully reseated every socketed chip on them. I also did this to the connector boards. I also looked carefully for any scratches on the boards themselves, and any area which had even the slightest bit of scratch I tested for...

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. The +5 looks fine right at 5 to me (I had to search the forum for how to do this, but I figured it out :) Interestingly I noticed some of the self-test 'pages' were missing. When going into selftest mode sometimes it starts on the hardware test, and sometimes...

Hi, I have a nice looking 83 upright that has been in my closet for 10 years since the day it stopped working. I pulled it out last month to try to get it working again so that I can sell it and let someone who will actually enjoy it have it. I don't have a lot of repair or electronics...
