i just made a 9 hour round trip drive to pick up a galaxian. As luck would have it, I am now having board issues and don't really know where to start. When I turn power on, I get garbage on the screen in vertical rows. some of it is flashing. when I pushed the test switch I see "bad 2" pop up behind the garbage.

I've downloaded the trouble shooting guide and will start trying to figure it out for myself tomorrow but board repair isn't something I have experience with and everyone here is usually pretty quick to help. does anyone have any ideas?
 
re-cap?

Vertical lines means a horizontal cap problem perhaps.
Try re-capping.
If the screen is solid black perhaps its the flyback.
Sorry if im no help.
