Hello, I have an original Odyssey with box and all, and have recently been trying to restore it. The signal between the system and the TV is perfect, as seems to be all other aspects. However, there is a problem. There seems to be no hit detection with the paddles and ball. The ball just flies through the paddles with no sort of collision, however every so often it jumps around when in the vicinity of one of the paddles. The only way to "summon" the ball is to hold the reset button on either controller, to which the ball will slowly drift back onto the screen, but will fly away if the button is released if it does not make contact with a paddle. Can anyone help?
