Cinematronics vector monitor no vertical delfection
I have a Solar Quest I have been trying to get going. I am one step closer. I have (what I think) is a working board. This was an Armor Attack board I got off of ebay. I got it in the mail and plugged it into the solar quest and I had it fully playing blind (could hear the tanks, helicopter, ect) I couldn't control it cause I think the controls are wired differently. But then I swapped the board over to solar quest and found that I don't have a working sound board (one has a short and the other only makes random sounds when the buttons are pressed.
It does look like the game is playing in the line, but I am hoping that this is some simple monitor fix and not a gameboard repair.
Anyone care to take a guess as to where the problem may be on the monitor? I have checked about every diode and transistor on the thing (including the ones on the heatsinks) and can't find any bad parts. (I have a second monitor that blows the circuit breaker in the game instantly when powered up)
The noise in the very beginning of the video isn't the game (not sure what it was)
