Let's save an Atari Warlords Cocktail

Small updates.

- Ordered new RAM and sockets but my Hakko FR-300 decided to have a valve break halfway through removing the old chips. New valves arrived today so should be up and at it again soon. I have a suspicion that one of the mirrored graphics ROMs might be bad, but we will see what happens with all new video RAM first.

- Powder coating company keep bumping my job, probably because it's pretty small compared to what they usually deal with, not a biggy, just a little annoying.

- Retubed the monitor with a newer tube I had as the original was taking a while to come on.

- New endcaps arrived from @CudaSales which should go nicely with the freshly finished frames when they are done.
 
Got the call from the powder coat place, all done and ready to go. I'll have to grab it all on Monday morning on the way to work.

Welp. I removed all the video ram and put in sockets and dropped new ram in. Still got garble.

This is going to need to go to someone who knows what they are doing and has the right gear, I don't feel confident enough to go any further with this board.
 
If you're sure the 2101s you put in are good, I'd suspect the 153s (or the connections between the 2101s at 153s.)

Of the 4 banks of RAM, only one looks good.
