Re: Dead Asteroids

I've seen this before on Atari raster games as "big blue" failure. Does
the Asteroids power transformer use the same big blue? If it does, I'd
look there. If you have a scope you can hang it on the 5vdc line. As you
load it down you'll see notching, droping your overall voltage.

BTW does anyone have a spare Asteroids transformer assembly for sale? My
Asteroids is missing it.
