19" WG Monitor turning off and coming back on during gameplay...
Hello I have a monitor that is turning off then slowly coming back on during gameplay. Just recently picked up the cabinet cheap at a garage sale. The game in it is sunset riders, and the picture looks fine, game plays fine, but at one point the monitor went black, then came back on after about 20 seconds. you can still hear the game playing while the monitor isn't showing the picture.
I tried a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles board in it and had the same problem...game was going along fine for about 5-7 minutes, then monitor went black for about 30 seconds before coming back on.
I don't know if this is an easy fix, or just something to live with. It appears it is a WG monitor with Philips tube...I measured it and it is 19" diagonally. I have zero experience working with monitors so far, so these are the numbers I was able to read off of the back...

Any information would be greatly appreciated. One more note...the first two times we played the game there was no problem. after opening up the control panel and the coin doors this issue happened. I don't know if maybe a wire is loose as a result of opening the coin door or something, so maybe that is a possibility, I just don't know where to start looking for this kind of issue. Thanks.
