My Tempest is having a problem is it a voltage problem I have not had time to check it yet. The game turns on and plays and then the screen will go black and the player 1 and 2 start buttons are red. If I turn it off and back on it will work fine for a few minutes and then it does it again. Every once in a while before this started it would stop giving credits and if you turned it off and back on it would give credits again. Any Ideas.

BIG BLUE is going out, replace and all should be fine.
 
Both....

I agree it's prob cold solder joints but if Big Blue wasn't replaced yet - it's time to get it done.

(and monitor cap kit and LV2000 and rebuild the ARII)

Certain games I wait for something to happen before I mess with them. Vector games - especially color vectors - I do it all as soon as I have the game in my possession.
