I recently picked up an Asteroids and it seemed to boot and play at first but the screen would draw draw some lines that were not supposed to be there. The spot killer would blink when that happened.
I started poking around and found that someone hacked in the wires from straight J8 connector on the AR board into the square J8 connector that comes on the later revisions.
One of the two wires just popped out while I was looking at it and now the two start buttons flash rapidly, I can't get the game to start, coin up, or go into test mode. The monitor flashes off and on as well and you can see it trying to draw images from the game for a second.
Any idea what is going on here? J8 is the hookup for sound so I thought the game would start even if the sound wasn't working.
