Hantarex mtc 900e Rainbow colors, desperate for help!
This is a long story, so I'll try to cut to the chase. I bought an Operation Wolf arcade almost a year ago for a good price, which played blind but had a dead monitor. I decided to make it my first monitor project, and learned a huge amount, mostly from reading you guys on here, which I'm very grateful for! Anyways, I recapped, installed a new flyback, and replaced the largest wire wound resistor which was broken. I finally got the thing to power up, and to show the images on the monitor as the game played..... the issue is that the colors are all rainbow! And before you ask, yes, I degaussed with the degaussing coil several times without any effect whatsoever.
Another point that may be of interest, is that the neckboard snaps and pops (arcing, I can see it with the light off) while the games boots up. It used to do this constantly, until I turned down the B+ voltage, but still pops at startup for about 10 seconds. My concern is that the neckboard is not properly grounded. It is connected to the DAG wire, but nothing else.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
