Problem solved, bad AVG chip. See below if you have similar problems.
1. Power up both START and GAME SELECT buttons are on but there is a clicking in the coin box that clicks with the START button's blinks. Pressing buttons does nothing. The board looks ok, nothing leaking and all the fuses seem ok. There is one red light on.
2. When I press the test mode button, the screen still goes crazy, ending in concentrated light in the middle (which I cut off quick b/c I don't want screen burn right?). While it is in this mode, pressing the START and GAME SELECT buttons makes tones.
3. I checked the Volts on the board using a DMM following the directions here:

and here:

4. My readings are good.
5. Cleaned the connections to game board with pink erasor. When I plugged game back in, it coined up and I could start a game, although there was no monitor at all. Getting destroyed in game resulted in game going back to step 1. above.
6. Plugged in working Gravitar board, Gravitar boots right up with the monitor.
7. Plugged in working Gravitar AVG chip, SD boots right up. Problem solved!
8. Bought a new AVG chip from http://www.biltronix.com/BXAVG.html and now SD works like a champ. Thanks everyone!
