I finally got my tempest built, and it has issues. I bought it from a friend, he had it 100% working, took all the guts out, started restoring the cab, and lost interest and i purchased it. I put all the guts to it, and fire it up and here's what's happening.
1. No blue color in the monitor
2. both start buttons are flashing, only player 2 button is responsive.
3. Once i start a game, it warps in to the first level like normal, then it acts like the round is cleared, and just warps to the next level, and repeats over and over. you can move, and fire, and sound seems fine.
4. Test switch does nothing.
I cleaned/reseated the edge connectors, and interconnect cables, and no change. I suck at pulling and reseating chips, and i also suck at checking voltages. I'm sure i probably should try those two first, but i just wanted some opinions. I also just swapped ARII's with a known good/working one, no effect. any help is appreciated, Brett
