DJSAM123 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum, but I don't know where else to go. Anyway, I recently picked up a Magnavox Odyssey. I hooked it up, powered it on, and this is what it displays. I've tried all of the game cards and it's all the same issue. I've fiddled with the VHF box, but nothing seems to work. I tested the controllers and from what I can tell they seem to work fine based off of what little action I can discern from the screen. Anyone know what the problem might be? I'm not a tech person, but I assume that the issue lies with the video signal. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KylJoy Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Just checking - does the TV work with any other systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSAM123 Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Yes. I would assume the problem lies with the capacitors, however I'm not tech savvy enough to be able to diagnose the problem myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick3092 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Have you confirmed you are on the right channel? I believe the Odyssey has a channel selection switch inside the battery compartment for 3 and 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
