The board mounted on its side: Up near the top, there was a diode, I believe, that would burn. I seem to remember working on several of these. The ones I saw often had 1/4 watt resistors where 1/2 watters should have been used.

My parents had one of these, bought in about 1974 or so, that had some problems, but ran fairly trouble free until 1982, when lightning got it one afternoon. I still have the 25V CRT from this set running in something else at a friends house.
