3 Solutions, 1 suggestion.

Solution 1 :

Remove the IC,

Then Remove the DIP socket.

Directly solder the IC directly to the board.

 

Solution 2 :

Remove the IC,

Then Remove the DIP socket.

Install a low-profile DIP socket in place of the larger DIP socket .

Reinsert the IC into the low-profile DIP socket.

 

Solution 3 :

On the top half of the Vectrex cart shell, Cut an opening large enough to all the IC to protrude through the shell.

 

 

Suggestion: Design a 3D model of the Vectrex cart case with a top half shell that has enough clearance to fit the higher profile of the DIP socket used on the board.
