Atari Tempest - Fuse Replacement; The Control Panel

Tempest™
A. Cleaning
The exterior
of
the
game cabinet and the metal
and
acrylic surfaces may be
cleaned with any non-
abrasive
household cleaner.
If
desired,
special
coin
machine
cleaners
that
leave no residue can be ob-
tained from
your distributor.
Do not
dry-wipe
any
of the acrylic panels, because
dust
can scratch the
surface and result in fogging the
plastic. The large monitor
shield is made of tempered
glass and the
attraction panel is made
of
polycarbon-
ate
laminated
to
tempered glass.
Both surfaces
should
be
scratch-resistant and easy
to
maintain.
B.
Fuse
Replacement
This
game contains six fuses—all on the power
supply assembly (not including the monitor fuses).
Replace
fuses only with the same
type as
listed in
Figure 25 of
this manual.
See
the color X-Y monitor
manual, TM-183,
for
the
monitor fuse
data.
C. The
Control
Panel
Prior
to repairing
or replacing any
switch
on the
control panel
or prior
to
removing
the
monitor,
un-
plug
the game. Then
open the
coin door.
Reach through
the opening
and open
the lug-
gage-style latch,
located
at each end on
the under-
side of the control
panel
(see
Figure
10).
Close the
coin
door. Lift up on
the control
panel
at
the
top-
most edge
and tilt it toward
you.
The
control panel
edge next
to the monitor
shield
has foam
tape applied
to it. This
tape acts as a cush-
ion for the glass
and prevents spilled
liquids from
entering the
cabinet interior. Always
make
sure this
tape
is
in good condition.
NOTE
Adjust
switches for a narrow
gap.
When
a
switch button is depressed,
the resulting
wiping action of the
contacts provides a
self-cleaning feature.
To Remove
LED Switch:
•
Remove all wires
from the faulty
switch.
Turn
the switch
counterclockwise
while holding
the black
cone-shaped
bushing on
the outside of
the
control panel.
Install
a
new switch
using
the reverse
procedure.
