I have a Midway Space Invaders Deluxe cocktail model which I have not played for some time ( more than a year) It will turn on and I get a humming sounds but that all. The lights work over the controls but I cannot start a game or can I see anything on the screen. When I turn it off the screen lights up and goes off as regular. needs some help in tracking down the gremlins and fixing my machine.
 
First things first - although you get nothing on the screen, does it coin up and play blind at all, or nothing?

If nothing, first thing I would do is check the power brick and the fuses - its possible a quarter or something laying at the bottom shorted it and blew a fuse.

Secondly, if the fuses are good, try cranking up the brightness on the monitor - if you get a gray/white screen, then chances are the monitor is functional, and from there move onto checking out the power supply board.
 
That was it. I checked the fuses and they looked good but when I put them back I noticed they screwed down tighter. I plugged the machine back in and I was back up and running.
Thanks
