Anyone happen to know if Zanen is still around have have a correct phone
number for them? I'd like to contact them about a cap kit for my Vectrex,
but the numbers I have found thus far have led me to dead ends. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Got my kit from Zanen today - man, there's a lot of caps to replace. If I
don't post in here again soon, it probably means I blew myself up. :)

Will they build a custom kit if I send the values of all the caps?
Trying to find one place that has all the different caps is a pain...
:)

I have a pre-production Vectrex, and a lot of caps are completely
different (different quantity of them as well) than the production
units, and some of them just aren't that easy to find and electronics
stores or surplus stores...

Rik,
Many large Electronic Suppliers like
http://digikey.com
Will have all the caps you ever need (and then some).

All the caps? You really only need to replace the Electrolitic Caps. Other
caps don't really go bad. I wouldn't think that a pre-production Vectrex
would be all that different from a standard machine. Unless perhaps, they made up
specific values by wiring up several caps in parallel or in series.

I don't have a diagram handy, but Vectrex shouldn't have more than a dozen or
two of Electrolitic Caps.

or they bread boarded stuff (like the amiga on it's first showing.), or
even reviewed the pcb layout/
