Video showcasing Indy 500 console and packaging

[+swlovinist]

Just wanted to share with AA members that I recently scored an Indy 500 console in good shape. This video I go over all the components that it came with, and show the system working. My console appears to have an issue with the Pong Games in the system, as I cannot see the ball show up when I select the tennis and hockey games. The racing games appear to be working correctly. Any ideas on what the issue to could possibly be?

Mine has the same adapter.

Mine also has the ripple/bump in the decal at the top.

 

And the box is in red/white/blue to celebrate the bicentennial year.

I have a Sears Tele-games Speedway , unfortunately I broke the IC chip trying to re-seat it it seems to have the same IC chip

the way the socket legs are attached to the chip may be the "problem" of the ball not showing up

 

I do not know how the legs are electrically connected to the traces on the chip, mechanically they are fastened to the exterior of the chip

 

the image of my broken one , in the red circle to the left is one of the pins ... it's "F" shaped

Too bad you never got this fixed.

I was reluctant to post about it , but there is some good info in that thread ,

 

I only work on my own stuff ... I just grabbed the wrong tool at the right time.

 

if it will help the OP avoid a similar disaster on his unit ( and others) that will be a good thing

You make a silver epoxy. The conductive trace pens don't lay down enough material. And the resistance is wrong to boot.

Thanks for the info posted her folks. I am glad that the power adapter I have with the unit is original.
