Atari Games Documentation is available for $14 per
737 Sycamore Drive game (usually a photocopy, but an
Milpitas, CA 95035 original if they still have them in
408 434 3700 stock)

especially the reduced size copies of the old large schematics.
If you choose to complain, please remember that most other
manufacturers do not offer such a service, and certainly not for such
old games.
