Well the the 10.3 is unregulated. 12.3 does seem a little high. Did you measure it plugged in or not plugged in ?
well the 12.23 is at the test point of the 10.8 on the a/r board.My experience.......the 10VDC line on these Atari games always reads approximately 12-14VDC. Yours looks fine to me. That juice will actually get regulated proper on the Audio/Regulator board.

Well you could use a small screw driver and gentle bend the pins to make a better connection but in all honesty that is just a temp fix and the metal in the edge connectors is most likely lost it's spring and it just need to be replaced.
Just did this on my asteroids. You start by just removing the power pins from the connector and replacing them. With luck, the rest will make good enough contact, and you'll be good to go.
Pick up the split-pin extractor tool from Bob R. You can also snip the "ball" off a bobby pin, and use it (that's what I did, but it's a pain).
For my asteroids, all I needed to replace were the 5V pins. Everything else seems to make fine contact.
