Gorf monitor interference - please watch youtube vids.
Hi all - I posted some youtube vids of my Gorf game and the problems I am having with the monitor. It looks like "interference" - like if a microwave oven was running right next to it.
The vids are here:

It gets way worse with the audio board connected - the audio clips cause massive interference. The 2 vids show the difference with the audio board connected and disconnected. It looks worse in person - e.g. the vid with audio off looks pretty darn good, but in person even that looks quite crappy - kinda like the rabbit ears need adjusting on an old tv set.
It's not the monitor - this is the 3rd monitor I've hooked up and all show the same behavior - this one would look really great if I can get rid of the interference - great colors, focus, etc.
When I bought the game, it had already been fitted with a switching power supply. Could that possibly be the whole problem? Like maybe it's a cheapo switcher?
I've reflowed solder to all connectors, taken the board cage all apart and cleaned everything there. Just getting to my wits end on what to try and rebuild or replace next. Thanks in advance or any help and suggestions you have!
