Magnavox Odyssey drifting ball issue

Recommended Posts

I bought an original Odyssey as-is a while back, and it had a couple of issues when I got it - all of which have been resolved save for one. The ball will just drift off screen, and no amount of hitting the ball reset button will bring it back. If you catch it with a player sprite, it'll be pushed back but will continue trying to go in the same direction it already was.

 

So far I've had the thing recapped, several corroded leads repaired, the vertical sync daughterboard swapped with a working one, but still the issue persists. The troubleshooting manual suggests the problem could be the english flip flop, the ball flip flop, or the ball spot generator - I've reseated all of them, and visually they look okay. Just not sure what my next move is here.
