My V2000 has problems. After replacing most of the transistors on the
thing I get a flickering spot killer light, I turned up the brightness
to see what I was getting picture was despite the spot killer and got
this:

I can make out asteroids and the copyright note but they're small,
scrambled and very jumpy - flickering all over a small portion of the
screen.
The only other thing I noticed is the 3.8ohm resistor I replaced R101 is
getting very hot again. I'm thinking of replacing that with a wire link
as I'm told that's better than a wire wound resistor but could the heat
signify another problem?
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.
---- History: This v2000 has given me a lot of grief. It had multiple faults and basically didn't work - the 2 resistors R100 and R101 got burning hot last time I used it (I accidently shorted one of the power transistors on the chassis - Q708 or 9 I think) ANYWAY as a last resort I replace all the transistor with the exception of the deflection transistors which I checked and appeared to work ( the only transistor that didn't check ok was Q504 but seeing as that's the Z and not deflection I don't think that's the problem now). --- James G Watt http://www.kinetic-arts.co.uk Part of the Video Arcade Game Collectors WebRing.
