6502 8-Bit Microprocessor (40-Pin CPU) The 6502 is a classic 8-bit microprocessor widely used in early arcade hardware and computer systems. This 40-pin DIP CPU served as the primary processor for many classic arcade PCBs and is responsible for executing the game program, processing player inputs, and controlling overall system timing. Many Atari arcade boards rely on the 6502 processor to manage gameplay logic and communicate with other hardware components such as ROM chips, RAM, and video circuitry. A working CPU is essential for proper board operation, making the 6502 a common replacement component during arcade PCB repair and restoration. Key Features 6502 8-bit microprocessor Standard 40-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) Commonly used in classic arcade PCBs Handles game logic, timing, and hardware control Ideal for arcade board troubleshooting and repair Used In Arcade Games Such As Asteroids Battlezone Centipede Tempest Warlords Missile Command Gravitar Red Baron Because the 6502 processor was widely adopted by Atari and other arcade manufacturers, it appears on many classic arcade boards from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Installation Notes Installs in a standard 40-pin DIP socket Carefully align the notch orientation when installing Recommended for technicians performing arcade PCB repair or restoration *Manufacturer brands may vary.
40-Pin Socket Specifications This 40-pin DIP socket is designed for reliable installation of integrated circuits and arcade daughter boards that use a standard 40-pin layout. Using a socket allows the chip or module to be easily removed or replaced without soldering directly to the PCB, helping protect the board during upgrades, repairs, or troubleshooting. Pin Pitch: 2.54 mm (0.100″) standard DIP spacing Total Pins: 40 pins arranged in two rows (2×20) Mounting Type: Through-hole (THT) for secure soldered installation Compatibility: Designed for standard 40-pin DIP integrated circuits and modules Installation Benefit: Allows ICs to be inserted or removed without repeated soldering Use Case: Ideal for arcade PCB upgrades, ROM installations, and repair work The standard 2.54 mm (0.100″) pin spacing matches the layout used on most classic arcade PCBs and DIP integrated circuits. Once soldered to the board, the socket provides a stable connection while allowing the chip to be safely inserted and removed when needed.
6100 Deflection Board LV Section Replacement Module The 6100 Deflection Board LV Section Replacement Module is designed to replace the unreliable low-voltage (LV) section found on the Atari 6100 vector monitor deflection board. This upgrade eliminates several common failure points that can cause instability, monitor shutdown, or inconsistent operation. Over time, the original low-voltage circuitry on the 6100 deflection board can become unreliable due to aging components, heat stress, and repeated power cycling. This replacement module modernizes that section of the circuit and provides improved reliability while maintaining proper monitor operation. Once installed, the module restores stable low-voltage regulation for the deflection board, helping ensure your vector monitor operates correctly in classic arcade machines such as Tempest, Star Wars, Major Havoc, Quantum, and other Atari vector cabinets that use the 6100 monitor. Key Features Replaces the original low-voltage section of the Atari 6100 deflection board Eliminates common LV circuit failure points Improves long-term reliability of the vector monitor Helps stabilize monitor operation and voltage regulation Designed for arcade restoration and repair work Compatibility Designed for use with the Atari 6100 vector monitor commonly found in classic arcade machines such as Tempest, Star Wars, Major Havoc, Quantum, and other Atari vector titles. Installation Notes Soldering and de-soldering are required for installation. The module installs directly onto the 6100 deflection board as shown in the gallery images. Installation should be performed by someone experienced with arcade PCB repair. This upgrade is an excellent solution for arcade collectors and technicians restoring original Atari vector monitors who want improved reliability without replacing the entire deflection board.
Atari AVG Custom Chip Replacement The Atari AVG Custom Chip Replacement is designed as a direct substitute for the original Atari AVG chip (Part Number: 137179-001). This custom component functions as the Gate Array / Address Controller used in Atari vector arcade hardware, handling critical addressing and control tasks required for proper system operation. Because the original Atari AVG chip is long discontinued and increasingly difficult to source, this replacement solution provides a reliable option for repairing and restoring classic Atari arcade boards. It is engineered to replicate the functionality of the original DIP package chip while allowing collectors and technicians to keep their vector-based arcade systems running. This chip is commonly used in Atari vector arcade machines where the AVG (Analog Vector Generator) system manages the generation and control of vector graphics displayed on the monitor. Proper operation of this chip is essential for stable gameplay and correct vector drawing. Key Features Replacement for Atari AVG custom chip Compatible with original part number 137179-001 Implements the Gate Array / Address Controller function Designed for repair and restoration of Atari vector arcade boards Helps maintain long-term operation of classic Atari vector systems
