So tonight I have a spare hour so I head on out to the garage to check out this Battlezone. Did the usual hunt for 20 minutes to find all my stuff to test this thing,the usual multi meter,light to see with, battlezon pinout, etc. So I throw on the dust mask because you never know whats in these things and open the back door. It was all complete inside and the boards and monitor looked new I mean shiny with zero corrosion,I though "thats a good sighn" So I pop the edge connectors to check the voltages and every voltage was right on the money,"thats cool",I glance up at the monitor "neck glow ausome" I then tool around to the front and every light including the coin mechs were lit up.Another good sighn
So now I'm feeling this 50,000 plays on the meter machine has a good chance to be fully working. So what the hell I plug in the game boards turn it on and here the monitor chatter walk around to the front and the start button is flashing"sweet". Look at the monitor and its on and working and looks bright from what I can tell but the picture is squished into a 1/8 inch horizontal line. No big deal thats an easy fix probly one of the transisters on the monitor frame. So I hit the start button and the game played fine. So the rundown is it needs the transisters replaced and in the bottom is a light dusting of dry yellow looking allmost looks like pollin but I would guess it was a tinge of mold that started then dried up. Anyoneknow what that might be just curious. Not to bad of deal I think for the most part
But besides those items it needs a cleaning and thats about it. Hope you like the story......Dave
