Does anyone have Blackouts with their Vec Flash

I am having issues where my Vectrex will blackout sometimes when using Vec
Flash. It does not do this with other carts?

It's something that I found out happens on very few Vec's which have
particularly spiky power supply.

The fix is to solder in a 100nF capacitor (all VF's have this done now).

I can either send you another VF PCB with this mod done, or if you want to
attempt it yourself I can talk you through the procedure (it's very easy).


Let me know what you want to do ?
