Waterborn Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I came across an old, single unit pong game that has the paddles attached to the "console" (such as it is). The unit appears to have a place for an AC cord, but also can apparently been run off of 4 D-cell batteries. It has the standard Atari video out cord. I can get sound and video out of the unit, but the restart button is missing and I cannot figure out how to get inside the unit. Two of the screws are soldered in place and I don't want to break anything trying to get into the unit. Has anyone ever played with one of these? If so, do you have any suggestions for repairing the reset button? Thanks, Dane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadtower Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I've fixed a bunch of them. I've never seen soldered screws on them... glued, sure, but soldered, never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterborn Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 It may actually be glue as you indicate. I will have to take a closer look. What do you do to fix the missig switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what type of button the original was and if I really felt the thing was worth enough trouble to find a suitable replacement.
