Picked up a DK Jr today that was supposedly "in perfect working order". Given the dust on the machine, this may have been the case years ago. First it wouldn't even power on (found the neutral wire pulled away from the plug).
Here is what the monitor looks like. Basically it looks like the gain is up too high, but there are a series of vertical lines and there seems to be a predominance of "blue" hues from what little I can make out of the game.
The game plays fine (nearly blind) with working controls and audio.
Unfortunately, the owner did not have the key to the back and so we'll need to drill out the lock to get identification on the monitor type (but I think it's a safe assumption that it's original as everything through the front coin door appeared that way.
Is this a simple "cap kit" issue, a simple monitor adjustment, or did I inherit major problems?
