Question about Magnavox Odyssey Repair

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.
