good call, that fixed the level jumping. Still have no blue, player one button
is non responsive, and test mode switch does nothing, before or after dip switch
changed. Could be a bad button, but i am curious about another issue since test
switch is also not working. thanks for the help thus far! Brett

This sounds like the demo mode that is selected by the DIP switch on the vector
generator board at location N13. Switch 7 is probably off and switch 8 on to
select free play mode. If switch 1 is on and 2 is off you get demo mode. Turn
switch 2 on and you should be good.

what's happening.
