Tech: Asteroids Problem, and anyone do 2 for 1?

Hi all. I have a couple of Asteroids machines that I'm trying to get
working. The first one has a wierd problem. Board seems to work just
fine, until you go to play. All controls work, except pressing the
fire button blows up the ship. Anyone ever seen this?

Also, I have two more boards that are dead, and give RAM errors in
self-test. Just wondering if anyone still does the 2 non-working, for
1 working swap?

Thanks, and let me know,
Brett

Pull the ROMS from one of the RAM error boards, and try them in the
board with the fire/explosion issue.. may get one working that way.

I think three-to-one is more likely...
