Bought me an Atari fire truck that wasn't working but the seller is convinces it will startup with a little work. Anyone else done this battle before? Where do I start?
I started with the power supply not working, swapped it out with a known working one.
Then the monitor needed to be reflowed, mainly for the adjustment pots .
I have 8 of those boards not working and 3 that do. one of the boards ended up in the smokey joe.
they do use a filter board but right now its running without it.
there is also a board behind the coindoor that handles the vol and shit, has a service switch .
make sure that's off.
