I have had a Galaga for about a year. It smelled of cat pee and the cabinet needed a little work. I let it air out for a while outside. Besides being dirty, it played fine ... but some white vertical lines would sometimes roll down or flicker on the screen.
I recently refinished. Took everything apart, cleaned, painted, laminated and put new artwork on it. Looks great. I was hoping the flickering would go away with reassembly, but it did not.
Re-capped the main boards. Same issue. Recapped the monitor. Same issue. Getting ready to check voltages and clean connectors. Don't have a real plan. Anyone have any words of wisdom? Seen and fixed with before? I have not attempted to adjust the monitor, but figure it will not fix this. Also have not messed with the chips or the RAM. I am still learning.
