Stargate Lives!
Stargate has been my project machine for a long
time. I finally got it working fairly reliably!
I got my Stargate game in 1997, not working, and
I got it for free. It would power up and run diags, but the powerup diags
always failed so it wouldn't play. Over the years I acquired a new boardset
that passed diags and worked...sometimes. But when the monitor in my Missile
Command game got flaky I swapped in the Stargate monitor and put Stargate on the
back burner. Recently I got a brand new Wells-Gardner monitor for Missile
Command so I put the old monitor back in Stargate and spent a little time making
the power supply connectors more reliable. After that the game played fine, so
I replaced the control panel overlay with a NOS overlay I had picked up to get
rid of those cigarette burns. Now Stargate is reliable and pretty
again!
