Marble Madness and Road Runner) all have
a common electrical problem. The Ampen"ol

with age.
SUBJECT
MC-2000-R Nanao monitor vertical deflec-
tion problem.
SYMPTOM
The nice pink Amp connectors turn brown,
as they bum, and are easily spotted. (The
pink connectors are a nice 1980's color!)
.
SOLUTION
The cure is easy. Solder in a new fuse holder,
probably every three years.
