    DE Star Trek Ramp Chase Lights

    Data East Switch Matrix Problems

    Broke it I did. Pretty sure I did the connectors properly. The switch matrix is completely dead. I'm thinking something let go on the MPU when I touched the board. I know there is a guy in Midland that can bench test the MPU. Can anyone help me find him?
