restomodgaming Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I recently purchased a Vectrex with the dreaded "White Dot". Tore it apart to see this. Can anyone tell me what is going on here? It looks like someone went in and added these bodge wires at some point. I've never seen a Vectrex with these wires, so it's confusing my brain a little. Is this normal, or should I remove them? They were not soldered on very well, so my first thought is remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey85 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 No idea why those yellow bodge wires are there. Someone has recapped the board and there is evidence of rework on some of the chips and resistors. Maybe there are a bunch of lifted pads and ripped traces on the bottom of the board and the bodges were put in as repairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
