1st Taito board i have worked with...on the main attract screen, Elevator Action scrolls down as it should, but each letter reversed.
Taito logo is normal, the date is reversed (each letter, not the word or screen). during the game, 1 player is reversed (not the whole line, just each individual letter is flipped), the floor numbers are reversed. What roms should i check/clean on the board? it's not the monitor, i've tried another one. plus, when it first powered on for about 2 minutes, it looked fine.

thanks in advance...
 
Definitely not a monitor issue. While im not sure which ROMs to check, you might as well reseat and/or clean all the socketed chips while youre at it. Ensure they all have a good connection.
 
check the ram on the 3rd board layer ( I think that is the right layer). Phets JK did that too.. it was bad ram.

thanks, will try that. hesitant on pulling all the chips, as the board looks untouched since about 1983...will probably lose legs or something by pulling them all up.
 
still flipped single characters/letters

same issue, cleaned + reseated every chip that was able to be pulled and reseated. any troubleshooting sites/manuals for this or similar taito game (jungle king, for example?). thanks in advance.
