AsteroidsWe tore down the game to get at the parts. I do this with most restores. It lets you find stuff you don't see and clean it. It make testing components easier. It allows you to swap components with less effort.
We swapped monitors with an Asteroids Deluxe we bought at the same time. The board on the monitor shot flames! One of the resistors couldn't resist and burned violently. Now we need a monitor repair. Wait, we swapped because the other one didn't work, make that 2 monitor repairs!
