Ok, I got this Hit Me machine (Ramtek 1976) at an auction, it was showing random letters, numbers and symbols on the screen when I got it.
After adjusting the voltage from 5.5 down to 5.1 it now presents me with this screen here.
According to the manual that is what it is supposed to do (doesn't go into attract mode until after the first game), but I can't get it to start a game. Coining it up SOMETIMES adds symbols on the right hand side (up to 4, but most of the time it doesn't add past the first symbol), but pressing the start button doesn't do anything, and neither did jumping across the right pins for start directly on the board.
Manual to the game is located here. http://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-videogames/H/HitMe.pdf
I doubt anyone here (other than maybe Greg) has one of these, but I would love if someone who actually knows about boards could take a look at the manual/schematics and tell me what I should be checking next because I simply have no idea what to do next here (already reseated socketed chips and checked board for damage).
