(Solved) Atari Battlezone - Vector Generator Woes

Just to close the loop, the original pokey is still good. However, the trace between the audio out on the pokey and the resistor that mixes it's sound and the rest of them has a break. Explains why I wasn't hearing the radar sounds and whatnot (and maybe the self test beeps). I wired up the controls and whatnot, as such I was finally able to play my first game of battlezone on a real machine. Super fun.

Well, I gave battlezone the "burn in test" by having a get together with friends. All the games survived the night except battlezone. Game had minor glitches but the battlezone text wasn't having fun. The game survived six hours until this started happening.

It ended up being another bit slice processor (not the socket). I borrowed one from a tempest pcb that I gotta fix at some point. I have to order more 2901s I suppose.
