I'm picking up an Atari Football tomorrow and wanna get a jump on an issue.
The monitor was fading in and out while during game play. I noticed when the door gets opened and shut it would work fine again for awhile. What is also weird is that the red light for the play selector would fade with the monitor.
Is this even a monitor issue or maybe power?

Just looking for any early thoughts of were to look before I actually start getting into it.
 
Sounds like a bad connection in the power somewhere. Instead of opening the coin door, does it exhibit the same behavior if you just smack the cabinet?

Just in case it is your monitor and you aren't in the mood to repair, there is a working monitor from an Atari Football for sale on Evansville IN Craigslist.
 
I found the problem for the control panel lights dimming out--it was a connection problem, BUT i still have the monitor problem. It works for a little bit then fades out and you can still hear it playing, just with no picture. If I shut it off and turn it back on I get the screen back but it fades back out. Wondering if a cap kit is all it needs or what?? I still gotta check out what monitor it is.

Any ideas??
