Also, if you goto my old Tempest page (which I haven't worked on for
years! :-0 There is a link to a page by Nick Sayer that has intense
details on troubleshooting and repairing Tempest board. While this
doesn't directly apply, you can get a good idea of how the hardware
works a bit.
  I have Paul's response in my 'reference' folder at home. If no one
beats me to it, I will post it again here. Or put it up on GA and
forward the link here.
  In reference to the STJ's that I have, they are buried so deep in my
garage right now that I can't get them for a bit. When I get my game
room done this summer, and the shelves on the wall, stuff like this will
be much easier to find. ;-)
