Recently installed a cap kit from Mikes Arcade and replaced the pins and edge connector. The game is now more stable but has fuzzy white horizontal lines across entire monitor that go away after the game has been played a few times. Also, colors are faded in the middle and right of the monitor. Any help is appreciated. Was a pacman and converted to a pacman plus.
 
Turn down the SCREEN control on the flyback to get rid of the fuzzy white lines. But, since it's fading as the thing warms up, I'm going to guess the flyback is on it's last legs. What monitor is this?

The faded colors are probably caused by the fact that the tube needs to be degaussed. Either degauss it manually with a handheld coil, or run it through several cold poweron cycles. Assuming that the degaussing circuit is working (and you remembered to plug the coil back in after capping the monitor), it'll fire every time the monitor is turned on from being cold (off for more than a half hour or so).
