Soldier the audio and the ground to the power board. The ground must be a good, hearty solder connection, since it is the new logic board ground. Now, you can power it up & make sure that everything checks out. ]]> L.S. photo Sat, 11 Nov 2006 12:01:35 -0500 http://lukesandel.com/techgallery2/main.php/v/VideoGameTech/Vectrex-capkit/vectrex043.jpg.html http://lukesandel.com/techgallery2/main.php/v/VideoGameTech/Vectrex-capkit/vectrex043.jpg.html
Reinstall the power board, neck board, and other connectors.

Solder the center lead of your coax to the audio connector. Solder the braid to the ground connector of the audio potentiometer. You'll notice the additional green wire in this picture. Ignore it. However, note the routing of the cable... very important. ]]> L.S. photo Sat, 11 Nov 2006 12:01:34 -0500 http://lukesandel.com/techgallery2/main.php/v/VideoGameTech/Vectrex-capkit/vectrex029.jpg.html http://lukesandel.com/techgallery2/main.php/v/VideoGameTech/Vectrex-capkit/vectrex029.jpg.html
For the audio fix: Remove the audio connector from the logic board. In this picture, it's already been removed. ]]> L.S. photo Sat, 11 Nov 2006 12:01:34 -0500 http://lukesandel.com/techgallery2/main.php/v/VideoGameTech/Vectrex-capkit/vectrex028.jpg.html http://lukesandel.com/techgallery2/main.php/v/VideoGameTech/Vectrex-capkit/vectrex028.jpg.html ]]> L.S. photo Sat, 11 Nov 2006 12:01:34 -0500 http://lukesandel.com/techgallery2/main.php/v/VideoGameTech/Vectrex-capkit/vectrex033.jpg.html http://lukesandel.com/techgallery2/main.php/v/VideoGameTech/Vectrex-capkit/vectrex033.jpg.html
You can also give the tube & speaker grille a good cleaning. While you're hear, clean the cartridge port too. ]]> L.S. photo Sat, 11 Nov 2006 12:01:34 -0500 http://lukesandel.com/techgallery2/main.php/v/VideoGameTech/Vectrex-capkit/vectrex026.jpg.html http://lukesandel.com/techgallery2/main.php/v/VideoGameTech/Vectrex-capkit/vectrex026.jpg.html
