RE: Tech: Wilsonville, OR tempest repair needed

This advice doesn't come from any in-depth understanding of the workings
of these games.. but I would say it would be wise to change the filter
cap on the transformer block, and jumper the AR-2 as described by Andy
Welburn (search the archives) then adjust the +5 at the AR-2.

I fought a Tempest like crazy the other weekend; was burning up R102 on
the deflection and playing blind. Cause? Bad filter cap. Who woulda
thought? I expected the game to not boot (as most raster vids with bad
filters will do) - but there it was playing blind, and roasting the
monitor in the process. Your mileage may vary.

Subject: VECTOR: Tech: Wilsonville, OR tempest repair needed

Hello All!

I am looking for someone near Wilsonville, OR to repair a Tempest. I
have rebuilt and shipped the monitor to the guy, and had the board
repaired but still no luck. Apparantly it's blowing the monitor fuses.
At this point, in an attempt to keep the guy happy, I'd be willing to
pay someone to go have a look...

Any help appreciated! :-)
Noel
