Title: Does anybody know how to fix a Vectrex?
Post by: Jeff AMN on April 01, 2008, 07:25:21 pm

My technical limitations when it comes to display are great. I know how to do a cap kit, but that's the extent of it. Now, I got a Vectrex that was working beautifully until a few days ago when I turned it on and the screen came up all garbled. Instead of the regular startup screen, I get random lines, and a bright spot in the top right corner. It plays blind, however, so it's just a display issue.

Any idea what I guy like me could do? If it's beyond my capabilities, I'd be open for sending it to repairs, but where?

I have one that does the exact same thing.  No bright spot, just random lines going nuts.  I hope you get a lot of replies ;)

Hey Clu,

I've been told over at KLOV that I should do a cap kit, but also that the issue might be elsewhere and I just PM'd some guy who is supposed to be an expert with the Vectrex. I'll post any answers I get here.
