video genie circuit diagram please

[aland]

I have a video genie system EG3003 1980 which is in need of repair. I have
determined that the crystal is not working + some other components on the
board. The rest is unknown.

I really need a circuit diagram (+ board layout) & chip layout for the machine.

Can anyone help me please.

Thanks

Alan

Hi Alan,
in this days, I received another vintage computer - a Video Genie.
Though it is working, I searched informations in the internet.
To your problem: I hope this could help you.

Thank you very much. It might be what I am looking
for. To be certain I will have to check the circuit
diagrams against the boards in my machine.

Have you tried to get spares for old machines? Do the
modern retailers stock the parts e.g Maplins etc

I gather you're a UK person.

Maplin do odd bits, but are becoming increasingly useless. As far as I know, RS (rswww.com) do online orders for anyone, and ebay is useful for bits too, but if you need particular components, post it here, (& send me a PM) someone may have it in their bits boxes.

Nige,

Maplin and RS do not stock the Genie's Crystal @ 10.644MHz

I may have to get it made unless you know a supplier who
has them in stock?
