My game works just fine, but the screens are very "fuzzy". I have read the manual (twice) but I am loath to disassemble things and try to tune the video display myself. Any ideas on how I can find (e.g., Google search strings) a service technician to tackle this task? Many thanks, Jim White

Jim I have one machine with the same problem. I have been able to put mine back in focus by taking off the top of the Odyssey and adjusting the focus knob on the flyback transfomer. This is not hard to do but make sure you use a non conductive screwdriver other wise some arcing will occur. I used a plastic cap from a ball point pen. The focus knob is the one closest to the center of the machine. Make sure it is fully warmed up before makeing the adjustment. I have noticed that this is only a temporary fix as I have to adjust it fairly frequently.

A bad flyback will cause the focus problems that you are having.
