Obsolete Parts Source.. Maybe...

Gang,

  I don't know if you guys are interested or not but, since a while ago you
were looking for some obsolete parts I thought I pass this on. Rochester
Electronics purchases obsolete parts/dies etc from the manuf. and then they
remanufacture the parts (If the demand is there). You may contact them at
508-462-9332 or sales@rocelec.com. They were refereed to me by TI for the
TMS9900 series of Microcontrollers that I was looking for, no luck
though....

Hello,

I'm currently repairing two Star Wars upright boardsets. I've got a
copy of the operator's manual and the schematics. The display
is a bit unstable and the Tie fighters never come out.
My question is - in self test mode, it fails with "Matrix Errors"
and spits out what looks like binary and hex data:

NNNF FNFN 0000
NNNF FNNF 0000
NNNF FNNN 0000 C 196A
                                      D E4D4

Any clue what these represent? The N/F stuff looks like binary
(The dip switches are displayed using the same N/F notation)
but what are they - addresses?

The C and D numbers look like checksums - I'll have to
check them against the mathbox roms. Also, I haven't
printed every page of the operator's manual, so I'll
double-check the answer isn't in there already... :)

Any help appreciated,
Thanks!
