Is it possible my new flyback is going bad?

I recapped, new hot, new regulator, new flyback on a g07 about 4 months ago. This is in my wacko.


Currently when the game is on I get this little 'tick' ing sound and a brief little flash to the screen each time it happens. It happens about every 5-8 seconds. I don't see any arcing and the sound actually comes through the speakers, it doesn't sound like it is anywhere near the flyback.


opinions?
 
i pretty much heard the same thing in my donkey kong and didnt see any arcing. i could hear the tick by the flyback but didnt hear it in the speakers .symtoms do sound like a flyback.
 
Are you watching closely for an arc with the lights out/in the dark ?
Watch inside the neck of the tube as well as everywhere else.

Check that the "DAG" wire from around the back of the tube is secure and properly grounded.(typically connects to the neckboard)
