Ok this is now up to bat, i stripped the monitor out to have the deflection boards and HV rebuilt. The PCB is being shotgunned. AR1 seems/test ok for now.
Had to add some wood glue and reclamp the top , was too bad .
started on control panel, need to order an overlay.
got new t molding, wondering if dark blue would look better than black.
Gonna do the coin door in the sandblasting booth and refinish it.
sides are already in really nice shape.. was debating on the mini side art too.
doesnt really need it .

 
Do dark blue so that I can then make an informed decision on my AD cabaret. :)

I can try every color lol. So far i ruled out red or pink.
I do have chrome, gold , black with chrome stripe, light blue, dark blue, green.
black and orange,, oh and white.
 
Pink gets my vote. :D

I did mock up a blue t-molding when I did my Asteroids Deluxe but decided to stick with what the game originally came with, black. Same with asteroids, though I will say the red t-molding on this game looks really good when I saw it on a few of TNT Amusement's videos.

i like the first pic the best
 
Put all the boards in,, had a technical difficulty with the XY board.

Slapped the old one it to see if it fires up and wa la..
Found an extra present,,, check out the pic of the speaker..
anybody know if AD uses a 4ohm or 8ohm 6X9 ?
i neeeeeeeed one.





 
The blue molding looks good on that, nice choice. Though I was still hoping you'd go with pink. :D

so i gotta do alittle more painting on that CP , Coindoor
and i gotta make a new back door for it.

The speaker i have to find .. got one?


Matty is on the case already for the XY .. i might cut a new dark plexi for the monitor too.

My AD full upright has an 8 Ohms. Look at the back of your current speaker, take photos, should have info on it somewhere.

Parts Express will have your speaker. When you find the right one on there, compare it to Amazon. Parts Express sells on amazon and if you have prime you might get it cheaper w/free shipping.

it does not say on the back of my current speaker sirrrrrrr.
andrew pointed one out to me on egay.
 
The TDA2002 audio amps used on the Atari ARs are rated for loads as low as 1.6 ohms, so you can use pretty much any speakers (or combination of speakers) with them.
 
Roger that on the speaker,, im gonna order the one you showed me.
We have tons of donor crt tubes around here,, but ill not find a spare 6 X 9 speaker lol.

UPDATE On the XY board.. I guess the pots for brightness and contrast go counter clockwise on the rebuilt one, it works rock solid now.
So loaded the monitor back in with the rebuilt and changed the blown coindoor bulbs tonight.

I wanna thank
Andrew for the rebuilt AR.. and Matty-T for the XY rebuild.
Ray at "wide area repair" for doing up the PCB for me.

Pheonix arcade next for CPO.
then i just need a speaker and new back door.
gonna paint that coin door too.
