      Very cool. When they brought this one to us to repair, I put it in the back room for a month or two before I got around to it, I had it in my head that it actually WAS an Asteroids Deluxe for some reason, then when I dug it out it's always been an Asteroids. Maybe the Deluxe was more common?

    thank you. glen

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  Год назад

      Glen look close at the neck and see if it's glowing, you may just be missing the heater voltage which comes out of the power brick in the bottom.
      To get an inmage on the screen you need heater voltage, grid voltage, and high voltage on the anode. The high voltage comes through the high voltage diode on the flyback, the heater voltage comes from the fuses down below and the grid voltage is turned off by the spot killer on the deflection board if the deflection board has problems or it's not getting a good signal . You ruled out your gameboard so that's good, can you hear deflection chatter? If the deflection board is working you will hear a buzzing that changes as the image changes on the screen (even though you can't see it). If the 'spot killer' light is on, on the deflection board it still has problems.
      If it's chattering, your problem is probably the high voltage diode isn't making good contact inside the rubber boots it sits in.

    Is that just a 'regular' screen in this unit?
    The 'Vector Screen' in the other Asteroids video (in the bigger machine) looks different. Or do all Asteroid machines share the same display technique?
