My Asteroids Deluxe has two problems ,
First is a video problem , everything on the screen EXCEPT the main ship and UFOs will fade in and out to the point where you can't see them , like the asteroids and High Score , then fade back up to where you can see them again , then fade back down again , over and over . But sometimes I turn the game on and I play it for awhile and that issue never happens and the picture looks great . Now when this does happen the main ship you control and UFOs are unaffected by the rest of the image fading in and out . I thought a cap kit and replacing the xixisters would fix the problem but it didn't . Its a WGv2000 , but this seems more like a board problem to me .
Second is a sound problem . Sound was working prefect then one day it got really quiet , you have to stick your ear next to the speaker to hear anything . Moving the volume pot does nothing . Could the Audio Regulator board need to be rebuilt ? Or the Big Blue cap replaced ?
