atari pong console question

[bah]

Hi all,

 

I recently aquired a Sears Pong console. I works but the reset switch has something goofy with it. If I turn it on, it immediataly starts a new game and will not keep score. If I press the reset switch it seems to do nothing until I hold the button down and then it counts score and functions like I expect it to. For me to see the opening screen, I have to hold the reset button down while turning it on. Then I let go momentarily and the game starts.

 

At this point I am not sure but the switch looks like one of the red push button switches Radio Shack used to sell and I know it is working as a normally open switch. Does anyone know if the correct switch is normally closed? Anyone have a spare?

 

Thanks

 

Brent
