Space invaders deluxe- thin scrambled line in middle of screen
Hi, I recently purchased my first arcade machine, space invaders deluxe. The machine lights up when powered on. The screen, when warmed up, just shows an inch wide vertical line of scrambled nothingness. I'm new to repairing games so I don't know if its a power supply problem, a rom problem, or a monitor problem. Any advice would be appriciated. Thanks!
Edit: I tried coining it up to see if it was running blind but didn't hear the game start but I'm not so sure the coin mechanical works because it looks like the previous owner modified it with a button.
Edit 2: I removed the roms to test to see if they were the issue but all that did was make the vertical line wider.
