no, just the vinyl

I know, but that can be done over time

Sorry, at the airport. :-[ My wife will be picking me up one... want me to get a 2nd one? (assuming they have them)
Level42:
Yeah, but how would you get it to me ? Would be pretty expensive to ship I guess because of weight and size ?

Hey all,
I got back from Europe and decided to replace the flyback and caps on the Amplifone. Spent about an hour doing that, checking, double-checking, triple checking, etc. Plugged it all in and... It's ALIVE!!! :woot I am so excited, almost as much as my kids!! (who am I kidding... I am way more excited!)
I do have a couple of questions:
1. When I start it up, it all looks great but after about 30-40 seconds, I get a bright dot appearing in the middle of the screen and lines from all over converging on it. How do I fix that?
2. The top of the screen seems to be truncated... How do I "shrink" the video down?

1. Turn down the brightness
2. Put the game in test mode and get to the green test grid screen. Use the pots on the game board to adjust image geometry. This is pretty well covered in the manual, if you don't have it, it can be downloaded from the usual sources.
Regards,
