Asteroids Deluxe PCB repair... who do you recommend?
I recently bought an Asteroids Deluxe UR a few weeks ago.... previous owner swore that he never had a problem with this game. Needless to say, it's got problems.
Frequently it starts just fine (perfectly actually)..... but after anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour later the screen would just blank out and the game would play blind.
Now it continues to play but the vectors become more bright... with additional vectors (lighter) follow all the objects. Additionally, all objects show a dot in it's center. This screenshot is from another post from someone with an identical problem:

That thread mentioned 'z-blanking' circuits, etc. Ok... now I'm in over my head. So, the question for me is:
Can you recommend someone to do pcb repair? I don't want to gamble on 'untested' boards for sale. OR........ anybody have WORKING boards that they want to sell at a reasonable price?
Thanks!
