I have a dedicated Asteroids Stand up Machine.

The game plays fine but the monitor just goes out but the game keeps playing. At one point hit the side of he cab gently with my hand and the monitor would come back on then go back out. As the game was on I used a pencil to gently tap the different connectors on the monitor circuit board and the monitor would go on and off. There are 4 different pin connectors on the board and they were all seated correctly. I didnt want to tamper any further until I got some advice.

Any Ideas ?

Thanks

This newbiee has nothing but trouble. but I am learning !!
 
Most likely you have cold solder joints on those connectors you were tapping on the deflection board. Pull it out and touch up the solder on the backside. that will probably do it...
