Vectrex repair possible?

Archived from groups: rec.games.vectrex (More info?)

I have a second unit where the ship spins in circles until warmed up with
any controller plugged in. I will let you know what the problem is as soon
as I have time to get it on the bench.
PS the schematics are freely downloadable so don't pay for them.
