When the beep goes out of your game or when the
ping goes out of your Pong, if you want to inject new
excitement into Atari games, do it! Clip, lift and short
your way to modify the action. For new thrills for Tank
Players, make the tank shells shoot around corners. Just
clip and lift pins 1 and 2 on chips M2 and M4. After shell
is fired, if tank is rotated, the shell will move with the tank
rotation.
To change the playfield, just short the D9 pin 6 to
ground.
To minim ize or eliminate any of Tank's playfield flutter,
install 2000 uh induct across R54 (39ohm) on TV PCB.
This wil l parallel the existing 2000 uh inductor. If the flut-
ter persists, clip and lift B11 ' pin 6. Jump B11 pin 6 to B7
pin 11. Jump B14 pin 3 to B7 pin 13 and jump B11 pin
11 to B7 pin 12.
You can troubleshoot and modify Atari games now.
