REDESIGN
Gremlin/Sega reports that
all of the problems en-
countered with the
industry's first color X-Y
game "Space Fury" have
been identified and solved.
The pro bl ems are centered
around the deflection (X-Y)
amps. Underrated power
transistors combined with
an extended "on" time
during the power-up
routine resulted in damag-
ing the amplifier circuit.
The remedy includes a
modification to the card
cage and replacement of
the Electrohome Monitor
with a redesigned unit.
Gremlin/Sega will have
replaced all defective
monitors and modified all
game card cages by the
end of October.
Initial field fixes did not
resolve the problem
entirely and Gremlin/Sega
decided to undertake the
monitor replacement
program.
Electrohome, the monitor
manufacturer, will replace
monitors in the Eastern
U.S., while Gremlin/Sega
will handle the Western
U.S.
