I need to test an Atari Destroyer PCB from 1977. The reason is because I want to know if it works one and two I need it to test a bunch of 6800 CPU's I have and 2111 RAM. This is so I can confirm that my Atari Middle Earth 6800 and 2111 RAM are good so I don't have to buy more and if my spares are good so I can toss the bad stuff. My Middle earth pin is currently not working and I have no other games that use this early stuff other than this Destroyer PCB Which I also don't know if it even works or not... My problem is the Voltages I know the 10v unreg is just the coin counter so don't need it. Next is the 5v easy enough got that covered. Now the real problem is the 16.5VAC and CT an the 25VAC and CT voltages what exactly do I need to do for these?

from the looks of the board and the schematic the "power supply" is located on the game board, much like a pac man board. I suppose you could isolate the power supply from the game logic and supply +5/-5/+12 from an external supply but I wouldnt go about doing such a thing unless youre confident you have the isolation done right.

Video can be ran into any TV with the single composite video in (yellow RCA jack) or if you have a TV with component video in plug into the green RCA jack.

Do you not have the destroyer cabinet?
 
BTW, that 5 volts on the edge connector... I think its an OUTPUT from the board to the pots and LED's.

Nope just the board I like to grab the older stuff from time to time to work on. Or in this case help me work on some of my other stuff. I may have found a transformer that puts out the voltages I need I just need to take another look at the schematics.

I figured one of the 5v might be an output (pot 5v) not sure the 5v located at L though.

I'm sure they are both outputs.
