The recent posts about cleaning POKEY pins inspired me to try to fix my
Tempest tonight. It had all the symptoms fo either bad or dirty POKEYs, or
at least it did as I recall.

Because when I went to turn it on toinight for a pre-teardown test, the
*!@&!@! thing had the gall to just WORK ! :-)

As I recall the problems were no enmies ever comming up and the spinner
continualy spinning on it's own. However it had been a while.

So I have a delima: Pull the chips and clean them anyway, or wait for it to
break again ?
