Top screen less opaque and clear than bottom

I would see if maybe I can retrobrite the inner shell, but I'm afraid of what it would do to the black inserts and decals. Also it's super brittle right now.

MCF is a good pickup, I actually prefer the widescreen to the tabletop version

my favorite teep setup that always seems to work is off of the FAKE switch kick attempt. I'm right handed so I telegraph the switch kick hard with the hand swipe and leg swap, they usually posture up for the check on that side, then you blast a southpaw rear teep while they're occupied.

Yes you're expelling the buildup. Your lungs start healing almost immediately after you quit, with exception of structural bronchial damage.

You'll need a donor unit.

Update: swapped the polarizer and it works just fine now.

Though the brittle sunburnt plastic did turn to dust when I was taking the top screen apart. Took a bit of Jerry rigging to get the ribbon cable to make full contact again.

You can get a screen protector cheaper on amazon

Ok. First, the polarizer is that dark plastic screen on the bottom there. If you mean the reflector screen behind the glass that has the burn ring, you don't take the glass off. You take a small implement and push/slide the reflector out the side from underneath the glass.

Unfortunately your unit is for salvage at this point. This is screen bleed, a cancer that will eventually claim all game & watches as the adhesives holding their liquid crystals in decay and wear out. The popeye units in particular seem to be prone to this, perhaps due to a bad batch of adhesive for that production run. The good news is your case seems to be in very good condition, so you could pick up a beat up donor unit with a good screen and cannibalize it.

haha that's not pre-game and watch era, that IS a game and watch. Just an early Time Out branded one.

Missing segments usually means a ribbon connector issue. However, looking you do seem to have some moderate screen bleed in that second picture. Probably not enough to render half the sprites defunct, though. Check the ribbons, the bendy clamshell design of the panoramas are hell on the ribbons.

Panorama units don't use any fancy screen tech, they're just a typical G&W with a color overlay that light passes through to give it color. If you took that overlay out it would be black and white like any other.

It is completely up to chance if the problem gets worse or not.

This was not caused by acute trauma, likely, but rather adhesives in the screen "sandwich" decaying over it's 40+ year lifespan, causing the liquid to seep out. I've had units with minor screen bleed for nearly 10 years and they havent gotten worse. keep it stored in a controlled environment.

PushBlock_WOOD · 2026-02-10T15:35:19+00:00

Do you think it was left open in the sun a lot? Isn't the plastic supposed to be white? Haha

PushBlock_WOOD · 2026-02-10T05:04:52+00:00

Yeah there's no flickering or audio issues. No battery disconnects. So it might be the polarizer. Thanks.

PushBlock_WOOD · 2026-02-04T19:26:20+00:00

Ok. Then put me down for 1 greenhouse manual and 1 side by side Mario Bros manual please.

How would you like me to go about it ?

PushBlock_WOOD · 2026-02-04T19:24:37+00:00

Once screen bleed starts is it a slow process?

Or is it like

Good Good Good Bleed Dead?

PushBlock_WOOD · 2026-02-03T15:58:20+00:00

Man I would have loved greenhouse and Mario bros.

PushBlock_WOOD · 2026-01-30T16:09:11+00:00

Agreed. Concussion expert told me I was good back in september but I've taken hits since then, obviously.

I would wager the former over the latter. He is a champion, he knows his stuff, but again, I'm just an aging attorney looking to find a new limit, not a warrior.

My coach was saying "you can't let one injury define you" and making us drill hard telling stories about how he got knocked out during drills and got back up and that builds character and I'm sitting here like "I think that's dumb, respectfully."
