Welp, my first time soldering, my first time doing anything of note with electronics, and it's working - all thanks to you guys on this forum! I managed to solder/tear off the busted fuse and solder on the new one. This took a bit of internet searching and luck on my part, ripping a standard plug apart to get at the brown wire - to reuse for connecting the fuse. With an overabundant amount of solder, I made a thing. I then wrapped my mess of a job in electronic tape, screwed the back on and powered it up. Success!

Sure enough the fuse was blown, I'm just glad there was a fuse at all Thanks for the fuse recommendations too, when I opened it up you were correct. Ordered the fuse, bought a soldering iron, and will update later to see if that fixes it. I have this now, for after I replace the fuse. What setting should I have it on?

Hi all, I've got a Vectrex that was working great in the USA, but when plugged into a New Zealand outlet (I've moved to NZ) it doesn't power on. I bought one of these adapters but with no luck, - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007Z3QYEG? Do I need a converter of some sort, if so which? Thanks!
