Vectrex Arcade System Service Manual
------------------------------------

In response to all of the people who have been requesting schematics for
the Vectrex system, here is the GCE Vectrex Service Manual in scanned
format.  The pages are in TIFF format; I was going to save them as EPS
files, but the EPS versions were significantly (4x) larger than the TIFF
images.  TIFF is easy to convert to EPS [or any other] format, as it is
widely used in desktop publishing.  Perhaps if someone takes the time to
convert these pages to another format, they should alert the readers of
the Vectrex news group.

The pages are all saved as 8.5" x 11" 300dpi b&w TIFF files.

The service manual has been broken into 4 zip files:

    VServic4.Zip

        PAGE30.TIF      Vectrex power board schematic
      PAGE31-1.TIF      Vectrex logic board schematic A [left]
      PAGE31-2.TIF      Vectrex logic board schematic B [left middle]
      PAGE31-3.TIF      Vectrex logic board schematic C [right middle]
      PAGE31-4.TIF      Vectrex logic board schematic D [right]
        PAGE32.TIF      Vectrex packaging

Pages 2-7 were omitted as they covered rudimentary things such as how to
plug in and operate a Vectrex; hopefully, everyone already knows these
things...

I hope that someone is able to use these..  If anyone is willing to build
me a "blank" cartridge for my Vectrex [I'll pay for parts], please contact
me.  I've been dying to play Star Castle!
