Hello!
I just joined the forums.
I'm widerstand from Hungary, repair old tube radios, flip-number clocks, handheld games, etc. so retro stuff.
I want to repair my new item, it's a Gakken Invader 1000.
found it on the streets in pieces, but boxed on the annual throw-your-old-things-away day. Smile

(in here every year every district makes it, you throw your bigger things away that is not commercial rubbish, and the next day the local recycling company collects it).
i need wiring photos(speaker, battery contacts), photo of the fre switch, and mainly the type of the two standalone transistors(the ICs not) located on the lower left of the pcb.
if you have Tandy Cosmic 1000 Fire Away or CGL Galaxy Invader 1000 i thinks it's the same!
mine misses the whole fire button, so the switch and the knob itself and the transistor part is messed up, one changed them to russian ones, but they miss the legs as well.
thanks for the help in advance!

My camera just got broken...
If by any chance you live in Dunaújváros I could borrow one for you to repair yours. I mean to examine, I need all transitors and such back. Wink
