having a problem with it blowing fuse f101 after about 30 minutes?graphics get scrambled 5 min. before this happens. any ideas, or where i should look?(i replaced the two trans caps on the side of the chassi) no change.
 
Im messing with one right now.. Check ionpool.net under monitors for a FAQ with flowchart.
 
Get your tempest game board fixed. When the board heats up, somethings going apeshit and overdriving your 6100. Try reseating all the socketed chips and the interconnect cable. Id guess though its in the vector output or power supply.

Seems like you can test that easy enough, I'd clip in my meter on the input side and see if it 'goes apeshit'

I'm not the expert here but I think I'd replace the diodes at D100-D104 that create the rectifier bridge.

Good luck

It takes a network of friends but I would try swapping the monitor and then the logic into a working cabinet. With this method at least you know where the issue is if the problem transfers into the test/ working game.
