My Missile Command went down last night. Been running problem free for about 3 years.
Voltages all tested good. So, was in process of cleaning and reseating socketed chips when I noticed that the cap at C42 only had one leg connected to the board. Looks like the cap had been soldered in very tight up against the PCB.
Cap is .22uf 25V radial.
I'll order a replacement that'll go in here:
But I've no idea which way round the cap should go in, as there's no polarity marking on the board.
Diagram doesn't help either:
So ... Any ideas which side way around the cap should go?
