I've got a V2000 monitor in an Asteroids machine that is on location. It was working great for about 2 years and then recently the HV diode crapped out. I installed a new HV diode and the monitor worked great for about two months and then it started having issues.
The monitor works but there are some weird vectors coming up and are originating from the middle of the screen. The monitor had been capped a few years ago. I checked all the caps on the HV board and found 1 that had high ESR so I replaced that along with the other caps on the HV board. I went thru all the caps on the deflection board and they were good.
I've uploaded a video for reference (I'm testing the monitor off my Omega Race cabaret):

Does this appear to be an issue with the Z circuit on the deflection board? Any ideas on what is going on would be appreciated. Thanks!
