I had those very same pinball test fixture overlays in my hand in about 2000 
when i worked with the guy. I never got round to scanning them, he knew you 
wanted them but was holding out for some reason.

The last i heard was, he still has a storage place in Manchester, but he 
moved with most of his stuff to southern Georgia in the US.

He's apparently still doing videogame stuff, but he has a zero web presence 
from what i can make out nowadays. He is of course still sitting on all of 
the paperwork from the Tipperary Atari Ireland factory .. he always wanted 
to build a large database of information to put on the web, but he was put 
off by Scotts' inclusion of atari confidential documents online (weirdly). I 
tried for a number of years afterwards to do something with the archive, but 
he resisted any help.. and now he's all but dissapeared..
