I'm trying to troubleshoot my Space Duel machine, which may have been damaged in the shipment to me (or something may have come loose).

Everything seems to work except for the monitor, which doesn't come on unless I nudge/tap the machine left or right, in which case the monitor comes on temporarily. When it does come on, sometimes it is only in a narrow vertical band of jumbled graphics, while other times it appears to come on full screen. Once there is sound, the monitor starts to jumble again and usually goes off.

I would appreciate any ideas/input that you may have on how to troubleshoot this issue.

Thank you very much!
 
Yes, it is related - thanks. I hadn't realized Drew posted something about it.

Sorry for the duplication.

Of course, any other ideas are still welcome!
 
Hey Rick, I contacted a few members here and asked them to contact you via this site, so hopefully we can get this fixed.
 
Sounds like you might have had some of the wires to the deflection transistors break loose from their sockets. I've seen that happen quite a bit on 6100's.

Otherwise, the connectors on the deflection board or the big connector to the monitor has pins not making good contact...
