Well I finally unrapped my Red Baron. Found some cool stuff on the inside: 3 tokens from Pot-O-Gold, manual with schematics, backdoor sheet, and a letter from Atari. Letter states:

Congratulations!
You have purchased an Atari "Tournament Game".

Well everything was in there so I plug her in and see what happens. Boards light up, but no sound, no monitor, no lights, and no playing blind. Looks like I will have to repair this one. Who wants to help? :p

Resolder the board interconnects... then resolder the connectors on the AR board... After that, check the fuse holders the rest of the power brick.

If it still doesn't power up, check for corrosion on socketed chips.

After that, punt! Time for someone to dig into the PC board. ;)
 
Congrats! I noticed the manual looks to have a strip of paper or whatever covering text between the Atari logo and the Red Baron logo. I seem to recall some manuals say "cabaret" on them...maybe this is one of them?

i wonder if braze makes a high score/rom eliminator for this like they do for battlezone?

I think your B+ voltage is out , cadillacman and i both agree ,,,, The cab needs to be sent to my address here in OZ , for a full check up !!!

I can send you one of my working Battlezones.
 
I know someone near you with a test setup... :)

Bring your brass brush. :D

I see a spare interboard connector in the bottom of the cab....

And the power cord looks like it is damaged near where it enters the cab.
