Re: VECTOR: Go5/801 probs (Asteroids)

Yes i did check all cables, i'm pretty sure its a deflection board problem, 
somebody gave me a link to Go5 faq's and it says that in x y circuits some 
transistors can meter good but in fact be bad, so it might pay me just to 
shotgun all the transistors on the deflection pcb, i know this way i wont 
find out exactly which thing was to fault, but if it works at least the 
deflection pcb will have more of a chance of being reliable, after having a 
whole load of components replaced, or is this just wishfull thinking, lol, 
as i get mixed stories from other vector owners, some say its a bitch 
keeping them alive, others say they never have any problems and that its 
just a myth that they are unreliable.....
