Original Space Invaders upright delevered from out of state to a friends house.
Game turns on and works.
Game then shows scrambled pics in middle of game.
Game turned off.
I pick up game today.
Turn it on.
Works!
Take it home.
Turn on game.
Works!
Play a few games.
Leave for a few hours.
Come back.
Turn it on.
Works!
Turn off.
Install Multi Kit into it.
Turn on.
Works!
Play a game of SI.
1830 points.
HS saves.
Play a game of SI DLX
Scrambles in the middle of it.

Now not working.
Wondering if you think it is power supply related ar a heat issue?

Reason I am thinking heat is that it's playing after it is setting for a while, then will scramble the grafx once on for over 10 minutes.

I haven't owned one of these for about 20 years...so I need some help!

Thanks in advance!

You should bring it to my house next Saturday... :rolleyes:
 
Ha! No. I want it to work. :D

SOLUTION -
Verified and Adjusted the +5v and it's holding steady. It was a little low.
Guess it was a power issue and not heat.
