I attempted to test a Pac-man Plus PCB in an old, dusty, all original Ms.Pac-man cabinet.
I tried several PCBs(Pac-man, Jr.Pac-man, and Ms.Pac-man). But there is no audio from coin-up or game play, and no movement on the screen from coin-up or game play. Only a faint hum when the game is on.
I did get a normal picture during one particular 5 second swap yesterday, but it went back to those frozen horizontal lines, which are about 1 inch apart and get dimmer from one to the next as you go down the screen.(See pic).
I tested and cleaned the fuses, and thought that the problem might be caused by the (original)fuse holders or a transformer.(It is very dirty in there). But I was told it was probably the monitor.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
