I know there are lots of threads on this machine already, and I'm trying to go through them all right now to help figure out my issue.
I picked up a Asteroids upright yesterday that powers up, but doesn't work. The player 1+2 lights both flash, and the coin counter keeps on clicking. If I put in into test mode, the lights stop flashing, coin counter stops, and I hear a humming sound from the speaker. I haven't been able to get any image on the monitor yet, and I found a blown fuse which probably explains why. I'd like to get it playing blind first, then worry about the monitor. I was going to place an order from Bob Roberts for the following, and wondered if there is anything else I should get that I might need to replace eventually anyway?
Atari "Big Blue" Capacitor
Asteroids PCB Cap Kit
Atari A/R or A/R II-01 Repair Kit
Where are the best places to test the voltage? I've also heard mention of the spot killer light, what does that mean exactly? Sorry for the newb questions, but I really want to getting this up and running. Thanks for the help!
