"Ghost" images on WG monitor in Dynamo cab...not sure why

Hey guys, I have Varth in a Dynamo cab with a Wells Gardner 25K7193 25"...and the game has worked fine in the past other than occasional fuse blowing issues...but now the game plays almost totally blind other than ghost-like white images of the onscreen action. Like it's just mostly a blurry, dull whiteness but detailed enough I can sort of make out the ships and action on the screen. I attached a pic but you can't see much (but that dull, whiteness is what I'm talking about)

Is this a cap kit issue? I don't think it's ever had a cap kit cause they look old. I feel as if I did something though to cause this because it used to look fine then one day just ghostly darkness. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I can take more pics if you think that would help.

Thanks guys!

I'm no scholar on the topic, but I've seen some bizarre shit working in an arcade, and I've never had any of those monitors blow fuses. if you got a unit that blows fuses a lot like that, then I'm certain you have trouble lurking elsewhere in your monitor.

fear not, the cavalry of geniuses will come to assist you in time. :)

good luck
 
Yeah I've checked all the adjustments. It's not that. How do you check if you have a failing flyback (if it looks ok visually)?

does the flyback arc at all? check for cracks in the flyback. if it's cracked, obviously it won't work. :)

getting high pitched squeals, static sounds, neck glow, etc.?
