I had noticed several of my arcade machine acts out weird when I put all arcades side by side.. with no space..

It would cause monitor to shake, vaccum in and out , etc.

I decide to pull arcade out and noticed behavior stopped.. is it cuz arcade are too close to eachother?

what s suggest measurement of spacious of each cabinets? 3 inch or it shouldnt make any difference then why do i getting this behavior?
 
Could be loose connections or wiring too. When you move the game into place, the wiring shifts and the monitor goes weird. Pull it out to check and the wiring moves again, and it is back to being OK.

My Spy Hunter did that to me with sound. I'd move it, and lose the Peter Gunn theme. Move it again, theme came back. Your symptoms don't sound like monitor interference to me, but I have been wrong before.
 
+1!!!!

LOL.. yes i crowded 6 cabinet into one row and i see some problem on each of arcades..

i decide to remove one arcade and make it 5 and noticed it s much better.. this brought me to wondered!..

I have seen others had crowded in same row and has no problem.. weird? lol

It means that you have to many, and you need to give away some to make more room, and then you will not have that problem. LOL
 
These machines were not always desgin with the best sheilding. Sometimes they toss out Some wicked RF and that will cause issues.

The simple frist check I would do is to check if you have proper grounding.
Check the eletrical plug and make sure you have good grounding on the plug.

Also make sure you have a reasonable ground in the socket you plug them into.
 
My only game that gives me issues like his is qbert. If it's next to certain games it will mess with their monitors for some reason. Are all your games plugged to the same power source? That can also be a reason why there are issues.
 
My games are all side by side, and I have never seen monitor problems. However, I have them plugged into remote belkin power strips which have lightning strike protection so there is possibly some sort of filter in there preventing cross corruption in the AC line.
