SydneyArcader Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Hi all I have a US Vectrex model that powers on fine (with a step down converter) but the vectors don't display correctly on the screen and are all over the place. I have the capacitor replacement kit that was recommended on a FB user group, however, I am having some issues with removing old caps with some of the PCB traces starting to lift and I'm reluctant to proceed and do this myself in fear of doing more damage. I am also not 100% sure if I discharged the CRT correctly, and I don't want to find out the hard way and another reason why I'm reluctant to keep on fiddling with it. If anyone could recommend someone that might repair these units in Australia it would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
