Hi and HELP!

Hi All,

First, let me say that I don't have much to bring to the list except for a love of vector based
arcade games and a overwhelming (compulsive?) desire to collect/fix/play them.

That being said, I just rescued a Cinematronics Star Castle from an op's sledgehammer/dumpster.
It actually appears to be working, except for that it has no X width; there is only a line
running up/down the screen w/blurry dots on it.

One of these dots appears to be your ship, as it moves (only up/down) when you press the
"thrust" button. You can hear the noises associated w/the different button functions, and you
can also see that the ship is shooting, hear it being killed, etc.

The LED on the "control panel" does not come on; I assume that it is supposed to (ala Atari
vector games)?

The only troubleshooting tool I have so far is a multimeter... with that in mind, where do you
suggest that I start looking for the problem??

TIA,

Derek
