Hey. I just bought one of my grails. A really nice Sega/Gremlin Astro Blaster in the more common blue and woodgrain cabinet. I am not sure if the attract mode is working properly or not. When the game is powered on the voice says Fighter pilots needed in sector wars-play astro blaster, then it shows a couple sample waves followed by the title screen and then the screen turns blue and the game rules and high scores slowly scroll by star wars style. After the rules and scores go by the screen starts flashing red to blue rapidly and stays like that until you either start a game or power cycle the game. On a normal working game how long does the screen toggle rapidly from blue to red? It seems to get stuck at this point. Also how often does the attract mode voice come on? I hear it during power up and right after you finish a game when you put your initials in. Can anybody who has an Astro Blaster help me?
