The "untested" seller again...

Thanks for the earlier discussion on "krazykat1"... I wish I had asked
sooner. I've purchased a "working" Major Havoc PCB and Tempest Converter.
Oh boy...

To be fair, I can see how someone in a hurry might call it tested and
working. If you were to plug it in, aside from some flicker, it would look
okay. But if you were to play it, that's a different story.

Test mode shows that the ROM at 6H has a bad checksum, and that there is a
problem with the Pokeys. That lines up with the symptoms... bad/strange
sound, and input from the spinner/start/fire buttons does nothing (even in
test mode). But, the Superzapper button causes a reset (even in test
mode). BTW... I've swapped out all four Pokeys. They're good.

I've written Jan and we'll see what happens from here.
