SUBJECT
Swiggly/W avy Video at the top
part of the screen. Hard to ad-
just out, if at all.
Do you have a Meltdown game
from ICE which goes through
telephone cords at about one a
month.
Bob's Space Racers Deluxe
Bowler- Roller.
SOLUTION
There are two possible causes,
both related to each other, that
I have found. First, you may
have a broken solder joint on
C206 (1 ufd 50 V de). Or second,
C206 is open, which would
have the same effect as a bro-
ken solder joint.
NoTE
If you find it's a case of a bro-
ken solder joint, check C206
any way. If questionable, re-
place.
The factory origional lasted a
couple of years or more but
now they don't stock them any
more.
SYMPTOMS
I have had several problems
with our Deluxe Bowler Roller
game, all of them having a
similar solution.
Two accounts were:
SOLUTION
Try getting ahold of an AT&T
cable. I have always found that
equipment and accessories
made by AT&T are alot better
in quality than all the
aftermarket stuff out there.

As I said both problems had a
similar solution which was re-
placing the LED indicator for
that function.
These LED indicators are very
nice, there is an LED for every
function of the game; unfortu-
natelywhen they go baditmay
leave you stumped?
CONCLUSION
Try checking them first ... at
less then a dime each -it sure
don't hurt!
