If Battlezone is the same as Asteroids Deluxe, the centering rings won't be
enough if you swap the DAC's with the alternate ones. The worst part is
that Asteroids Deluxe doesn't have the places for the parts to be added. I
had to pull my DAC sockets, cut a trace, and rig a pot on top of my
DAC's. It isn't pretty, but it worked great.
