Haven't been able to reach vectrexwraps.com over the past month or two, was hoping someone might have an extra wrap they'd be willing to sell. TIA.

That was all it needed. Thanks so much! Good 'ol isopropyl is quite handy. FYI with Caig's De-oxit: I used to use it on av connectors and vacuum tube pins and never felt that it did much. Switching to a lead-remover cloth from Walmart (I think it's Remington brand) removed the oxidation almost instantly from my old connectors, and it was only $3. A no-brainer compared to the $50 vacuum tube "survival kit" I mistakenly purchased.

I recently acquired a Vectrex unit that appears to be in good shape, however when firing it up with a cartridge in the side, it goes directly to Mine Storm. I tried several cartridges and this continues to happen. Any ideas? Can something like this be fixed with new caps, or is it more likely a bum unit? TIA.

Thanks for confirming. There are bootleg Raiden carts floating around out there for some reason. One on Ebay - although that one is pretty obvious.

I just picked up a copy of Raiden however the cartridge is a little darker and more textured than the others in my collection. I thought it might be a high quality repro. I did some searching here on how to spot a difference, but it's not easy like it is with most other systems where you just pop the cart open. I put it next to another game to illustrate the different shade. Any ideas? Is this most likely a repro? Thanks for any info!

Hello! Id like to be put down for one with a case (lynx 2).
