I was playing Gorf and my ship started drifting upward. I had this problem when I first put it back together but rotating the center grommet solved it for a while. Now, it takes a lot of movement to get it to go down and doesn't stay.
I reflowed virtually all the pins including the optos and connector pins. I cleaned the optos though they were relatively clean from the recent rebuild.
I'm guessing an opto is bad but don't want to move it to another spot to confirm ... too much soldering and I'm guessing I might need to move all 4 to be sure. Is there another way? If not, I'm willing to replace the two on the up/down axis with new ones if they are available. Anyone know where I could get a couple?
thanks!
