Galaga cocktail error sound + refuse to boot on initial powerup.

Picked this up recently and it has one very minor issue.

Won't fully boot up when plugged in, but leave it for 10 seconds, unplug, replug, boots and plays just fine. Self test showing no ram errors or anything. Someone suggested it might need the +5v adjusted, I didn't see anything in the manual to work on that..

Need some pointers on if that's the right place to start looking and if not how to proceed. This is a really nice cocktail, new monitor was put in 12 years ago that has literally zero burn in and new overlays and glass underlay and is pretty clean inside and sturdy. Just need to resolve this one issue. :|
 
Sounds like the power supply could use rebuildin'...
 
Poop. Thats not beyond me but beyond the time I have available in the next week. I am going to try to sell it to fund something else more likely than not. :(
