So I got my Popeye restore done, and though the cabinet looks awesome, I'm running into a few technical issues. First, the maruqee light won't stay lit. I turn the machine on, and it flickers and then lights up, but a few seconds later it goes out, then it flickers and lights back up again. This happens over and over.
It is the original Nintendo light fixture with a brand new 100v bulb from top bulb. Its got the original starter in it. I tried to replace the starter, but the ones I got from top blub were defective or something and the blew out right away. I tried some starters from blubtronics and they exhibited this blinking behavior. So then I went back to the original starter and everything was fine for about a month.
Anyone know where the problem lies? Is it the bulb? Starter? Or other general power issues? I have not rebuilt the power supply at all, or even check its voltage, but I'm having some graphics issues pop up after the game is on for 10 minutes or so that I think might be related to power (if anybody has a cap list for the power supply I could use it).
