korein Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I recently acquired a Magnavox Odyssey system from a family member. The system power on fine and one is able to make out images on the TV. The issue that I am currently encountering is that for game cart #1 the vertical center line is not appearing on the screen and the pong paddle on screen for player one is stretching across the screen. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 IIRC you should be able to open the case and adjust those things internally. I haven't been under the hood of an Odyssey in a while but I think there are pots for paddle width/height, center line orientation, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korein Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 I was able to find the problem. After checking all the circuits on the wall spot generator board, I found that one of the capacitors was not working ( probably dried up) and after replacing and fine tuning as BassGuitari suggested. I was able to fix the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
