K, guys. Having issues with both games' monitors here. I can look up the models but I think you may be able to diagnose the problems based on the quick story.
Pac-Land: when I turn on the game the screen sounds with the normal high pitch. Then colors of all sorts appear in bands across the screen and cycles vertically for a few minutes. Then the screen cuts out and goes dark for a few seconds. Once the screen is warmed up, the game works great. I can't actually put credits in or play the game until the monitor is fully warmed up. I can then turn off the game and turn in right back on without warming it up again...starts right up. Is this a simple cap kit or something more?
NBA Jam: sometimes during gameplay, the red colors will go dull when the game is shaken. A few slaps to the side of the cabinet can bring the reds back. The harness is hacked meaning that that the wires are soldered directly to the pins...didn't have the right harness beforehand so a quick fix was decided.
Thanks in advance!
