Those things used to come right out of the box with bad connections where those modules plugged in. We had a neighbor when I was a kid who bought a new TOTL console from Gambles, they brought it out and set it up, color was maxed out. Guy gave it a whack on the side and it cleared up for a couple of minutes, then broke again. A week later they brought out another new set and swapped for the dud. It worked fine for about a day, then same problem. New owners were trying to fix it with whacks. They finally let me, the 12-year-old neighbor kid, open it up and after poking around for a couple of minutes figured out the left-most module wasn't seated all the way. Pushed it down and set was OK after that.
