Didn't there used to be a repair logs section ?, or am I imagining that ?.
Repair logs.
- Thread starter cliff_poole
- Start date
There are some on the plain website but it's not been updated in years;
http://www.ukvac.com/tech/techlog.htm
There are 100's if not 1000's of other fixes dotted over the forum though, might be worth trying the search facility. Just make sure you alter the time limit to "older than 6 months" to search back into the depths of time (to the 90's).

P.S We are looking at some ways to pull together all our fix logs into an easier to search resource, stay tuned...

That'll be good. I like reading logs and was just thinking that it was about time I started to post some of my own.

Just looked at the old site. I think it is much better when they are blog style, like maths teachers used to say at school, "you must show your working".
I recently stumbled across some of my old repair logs on the "waybackmachine". They are all pretty basic because back then I used to log everything.

I know it sounds a bit sad but I find it gives me motivation when I am stuck on something
. It is always good to learn new tricks too.

I was looking at your Vectrex repair logs a few weeks back.
I had two to fix. One turned out to be a dodgy on-off switch, only one pole of the switch though so the power to the processor board was getting through (you could hear it play), but not the supply to the monitor. The other had a faulty PIA, it would just remain crashed from power up.
I did the opamp sound mod too, you are right, it is a bugger to do.
