I forgot this even existed, excellent work
Thank you, and yeah there actually still around by hasbro who bought out milton bradley
Great to see this old classic again and that you brought it back to life. Not keen though on the background music, would prefer just quiet ambience but that's me 😊
Your unit was made in 1985, according to the date code on the lamp driver chip :)
How cool! 😎
Thank you so much for posting this! I just picked up two of these, same model as yours. My problem is that the buttons don't go down easily. You have to press pretty hard. When I looked it up, it is a known problem, but I haven't found any solutions. How is the action on yours?
I recommend to try cleaning the button contacts directly on the board. You could also clean the part on the buttons that directly touch the contacts, too.
This is the 1986 model.
Im not too sure how to tell %100 🤔 because I bought it from ebay saying it was a 1978 but I guess people can lie about it
It does say 1978 on the box and the game itself though
A chemical clean of the contact, would be better.
Agreed, but I noticed some of the corrosion/battery was going all the way through. If I would of used a chemical it might of ate too much of it. The best option would be to somehow get new contacts. ")
@@retrostashrepairs The right chemical will react only with the rust (Iron Oxide).
But I agree, that it would be best to make new contacts.
Why 2 kinds of batteries?
The two 1.5v batteries power the lights and the 9v battery powers the game. In the original 70's game the lights were round, screw in bulbs and a spare was provided in the case.
