Hello everyone,

I won a Sega Thunder Blade at the last Captains Auction. This is one of my favorite games as a kid. I'm trying to clean it up as nice as possible. However, I have a couple of nagging issues that I'm not sure are issues or not. The game plays pretty well.

1. The seat doesn't sit parallel with the front monitor. It is a little off to the right. If I move it, it moves back out of position. I have adjusted the pot to 80h per the manual to accommodate this. Is this common or can I adjust this? I mean, is it supposed to be like this. (See pics and video)

2. The flight stick twists as if I'm turning a bathroom sink on. See video. Is there a way to tighten this up?

3. Does any one know of a replacement for the flashing lights on the back of the seat?

Thank you,

Steve

Also, I assume this grease caked on this game is supposed to be there? It's still slippery.
