So I just recently bought a Tempest and it seems to have some vectors showing up that don't belong. They look like little yellow flashes of lightning that occur from halfway down the lanes to the bottom during shots. There are a few visual defects that I assumed were due to the monitor maybe not being adjusted properly, but this isn't. Hard to take a picture of it, but see below. The extra vectors are the yellow crescenty looking thing up at the top of the triangle. They move around (usually from their start point towards the center) and are usually near the claw's lane. They only appear when you fire.
I just got the machine so I haven't done anything other than clean it. The monitor was supposedly gone over recently and I can tell the board set is a replacement and has had some work done on it (a new pot and a replaced finger on the edge connector). The power supply and ARII look like they've never been touched. I know I should just go and replace the big blue, but it looks like some mice used the brick as a toilet so I'm not super excited about playing around with it.
Anyone eve see an issue like this? Could it be the big blue? I'm too new at this to feel confident.
