I have an Asteroids cabinet. When I repaired it, less than a year ago, I recapped the monitor, replaced the transistors, recapped the AR-1, and replaced the big blue. Everything seems to have worked fine for quite a while.
Recently, the monitor started fading out. If I wait a couple minutes, the picture fades back in. I have adjusted the brightness and contrast. Sometimes the picture completely fades out; other times, I can still see the ship and shots fired (very bright items).
I have read suggestions about cleaning all of the connector pins, but nothing I find seems to pinpoint what causes this issue. Does anybody know what the probable cause is? I would really like to minimize my troubleshooting time, as the holidays are coming quickly. There's SO MUCH to do!
I do not noticed the spot killer when it is dim, but the neck is glowing orange.
Thanks in advance for any help!
