Hello,
I recently came across an Asteroids for sale. The game powers up, coins up and is playable, but the monitor has a bright white dot in the center of the screen and many other objects leave long trailing lines. I've never worked on a vector monitor before...is this thing about to die? Or is this an adjustment issue?
The 2 volcano buttons are different. I think the black is the original...? The 2P button is missing...can I get replacements? Also, the control panel is starting to flake. I assume I could get an overlay? There is also no sound, but I wasn't able to get inside to see if it's something stupid like a loose wire or volume setting; should I be concerned?
They are asking $300 for the machine, which seems high as it sits, but I'm thinking there may be room to make some money if it can be easily repaired. Any advice is welcome.
Thanks.
