RAM, ROM, PROM, and Math-Box Diagnostics

The sheet provides tables that associate self-test tones, screen numbers, and displayed letters with possible RAM, ROM/PROM, and math-box failures. These references can help trained arcade technicians identify the PCB area requiring additional diagnosis.

High-Score Table Erase Procedure

Important: The self-test instructions include an optional procedure that erases the three stored high scores and average game-time data. Do not perform the erase procedure unless you intentionally want to remove the saved information.

Game Option Settings

The game-option table identifies the top eight-toggle switch at PCB location P10 and provides settings for language, bonus airplanes, starting airplanes, minimum plays, and self-adjusting difficulty.

  • English, Spanish, French, or German language selection
  • Multiple bonus-airplane scoring schedules
  • No-bonus-airplane option
  • Two, three, four, or five airplanes per game
  • One-play or two-play minimum
  • Self-adjusting game difficulty on or off

Game Price Settings

The ST-169 sheet includes pricing tables for 50-cent and 25-cent play configurations, supported coin-door arrangements, bonus-play settings, coin-mechanism multipliers, and the matching Atari game-pricing labels.

  • Free Play
  • One coin for one or two plays
  • Two coins for one play
  • Left and right coin-mechanism multipliers
  • Multiple bonus-coin schedules
  • Original Atari pricing-label references

Coin-Counter Option Settings

The coin-counter table identifies the four-toggle switch at game-PCB location L11 and shows how supported two-acceptor and three-acceptor coin doors activate the available coin counters. Confirm the exact coin-door configuration before changing these settings.

Cabinet Controls and Safety Interlock

Cabinet illustrations identify the power switch, self-test switch, European-games self-test switch, volume control, operator-option switches, PCB location, and cabinet safety-interlock switch.

Electrical safety warning: Arcade cabinets and vector-monitor systems may contain hazardous voltages. Disconnect power before servicing and do not bypass cabinet safety interlocks. Use a qualified arcade technician if you are not trained to work safely with original arcade electronics.

Confirm the Correct Red Baron Hardware

Red Baron documents and settings may differ by PCB revision, cabinet configuration, coin door, document number, or printing. Review the complete product image and confirm that Atari document ST-169, 1st printing, matches your original Red Baron hardware.
