If you've seen some of Atari's technical
manuals lately, you may have noticed a
new look. Ever since Triple lluntTM was
introduced, the books have been published
in a new format designed to be more
attractive and easier to read for operators.
The foremost concern in reorganizing the
manuals was to allow almost instant access
to information, instead of wading through
dozens of pages trying to find, for exam-
ple, information on the option toggle
switch that controls game time. Complete
maintenance and service instructions fo r
Atari's new coin door is also included -
liberally illustrated with photographs.
In addition to the redesigned manuals,
Atari is beginning to publish a series of
illustrated parts catalogs for each game.
Atari will be releasing these catalogs at
production time with the manual, or
shortly thereafter. They contain complete
parts lists and drawings to show the
majority of items that might need re-
placing during a game's lifespan. Prices of
all parts are available by contact ing your
distributor.
Atari's goal is to provide the finest and
most comprehensive service backup in the
coin-operated game indust ry. Each game's
built-in self-test program tests approxi-
mately 75% of the game's vital circuitry;
the seff-test procedure is easily done on
location. A toll -free "hotline" is also
available that ties in directly to Atari's
Customer Service Department in Santa
Clara, California to assist in technical
problems. (800-538-6892) Special video
game service seminars are held periodically
throughout the United States and abroad
to keep technicians abreast of the newest
electronic developments. And superior
microprocessor-based engineering results
in games with more player appeal , more
variety, and better reliability.

pinball game and did not get the

A bank of three Triple HuntH 1 games
can be quite effective to create high im-
pact and even higher collections in large
arcades. Atari has designed a special attrac-

create a total unit effect to the bank of
games.
