[Note: The Quartet cabinet look like a Gauntlet cabinet to me.]

Quartet consists of a 2 board set, the Main Board (837-5795) and
the ROM Board (837-5794 or 834-5794).  The main board may have
the number "171-5335" or "171-5336" on it.

Ther service buttons are used to give a credit but not register on
the coin meter.  They can be used to check for basic game
functionality.


Control Panel
=============

The control panel is laid out as follows:

   ---------------------------------------------
   |  B1 J1                             J4  B2 |
   |   B2                                  B1  }
   \                                           /
    \                                         /
     \         J2              J3            /
      \         B1 B2           B1 B2       /
       -------------------------------------

J1 = Joystick, Player 1 (Lee)
J2 = Joystick, Player 2 (Joe)
J3 = Joystick, Player 3 (Mary)
J4 = Joystick, Player 4 (Edgar?)

B1 = Jump/Start
B2 = Shoot


Test Mode
=========

To put the game into test mode, power off the game, turn SW#8 of
DIP SW2 on, and power the game back on.

In the test mode, if an error is found the test will stop after
identifying the error.

IC Test
-------
The first test is the IC Test.  If an IC is found to be defective,
the screen will display "BAD IC" followed by the defective IC number.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The color bar should display these colors:
  C1 = White
  C2 = Red
  C3 = Green
  C4 = Blue
  C5 = Yellow
  C6 = Light Blue
  C7 = Purple
  C8 = Grey
  C9 = Black

[1] The on-screen display of "ON" in the corresponding position for each
    of the 8 switches when pushed, signifies normal operation.
[2] Displays the results of testing in the IC test mode.
[3] By pushing any of the control switches, the sound test (see below)
    starts.
[4] The present setting of the DIP switches.
