Tempest Repair Log: No Maze/Tube During Gameplay/Attract Mode

Here's another one.

Symptoms:

No maze/tube during gameplay and attract mode. Sprites, text, etc present during attract mode and game play. Game resets predictably during game play, ie at the same exact point.

Mathbox error in self test, with a known good mathbox and interconnect cable.

Cause:

Cold solder joint on the gameboard at the interconnect cable header
 
Thanks for posting this. My Tempest has started to lose the Tubes once in a while during gameplay. I don't know if this will help it, but at least it is a place to start.
