Thank you.
I hope to be able to write this document again one day. From my point of view, I have only done 50% of the work...
I have reworded it as follows:
Following a capacitor replacement: vector undulation, buzzing louder than normal, main heatsink on the power supply board hotter than normal. This problem can occur due to the lack of a metallized hole on the C404 and C411 capacitors. Ensure that you have applied tin on both sides of the PCB for these capacitors. Check the continuity between the Vectrex ground and the corresponding pin of the capacitors.
Great document, here's another fix you can add to the troubleshooting display section. I've fixed a few of these, usually after someone did a cap kit.
Symptoms: Wavy vectors, Louder than normal buzzing sound, large heatsink on power board hotter than usual.
Possible cause: C404 or C411 negative leg not grounded. More likely if capacitors have been replaced.
Fix: Make sure capacitor is soldered to top and bottom pads, and there is continuite between negative leg and ground.
