OK, won a Missile Command off ebay, description said parts pcb, but anyway.

OK Recieved the pcb, quick look, missing the crystal 3 eproms 2 eprom sockets and the cpu.

Burnt 3 new roms and installed 2 sockets, put a good cpu and crystal in, changed all the 4116 rams (I bought a few nos off ebay) Fired it up, yellow screen.

OK, time to have a better look, ended up straighting all the pins on the back of the pcb that where touching, tried again, now a white screen and reseting, better.

Try the test mode, goes into it, give a rom 2 error sometimes. Verfy the rom, nothing, resolder the socket, nothing.

Check the rom addressing ciruit, found a bad 74ls42 at N2 and a bad 74ls153 at F3. Changed with new chips, voila, working Missile Command But, seems to have the yello background missing, odd, will get the schematics and have a look.

Okay, found the problem with the missing yellow mountains, bad 7474 at A7, replaced with a good one and now running 100%
