Yes, this means that you can quickly power up the game using only +5V, GND, and the video signals. If you hold the TEST pin (J2, pin 6) to GND, you can then ground the SERVICE pin (J2, pin 7) to cycle through the self-test screens. The practical upshot of all this is that having an incomplete board set isn't a show-stopper. You can play the game quite nicel

Midway 8080 System Boards
The Midway 8080 system board was the basis of many of Midway's black & white video games from 1975 till 1980. This board is easy to distinguish because of it's shape, The mother board has a daughter board plugged into it at a 90 degree angle with 2 aluminum braces holding the boards together. (Midway's Omega Race is very similar in appearance but is not part of this system.) The daughter board is used for audio production & amplification and input/output interfacing to the cabinet.

The Dead Battery Society
The Dead Battery Society isn't reall a society at all. It's just a web page. Membership dues are not required. ;-) You may have heard the term "suicide battery" used before and wondered what the heck it meant. Several arcade game manufacturers decided it would be a good idea to put a battery on their game boards that, when they die (and they will die), disable the game. Why they did this isn't exactly clear. Is it a way to artificially limit the lifespan of their games? Is it an anti-piracy mea
