Well, sort of a lost cause but trying to track this fellow down as he seems to be the only person on the planet with copies of the Atari Pinball Test Fixture overlay cards....I've been trying to get a copy for over ten years from whoever has a set, but have turned up nothing - however wandering through my email I find that XY-Man had these and we had talked about them back in '99. So, yup, a long shot, but figured someone might know this fellow - he lives(d) in Atherton, UK...

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..
