I'm not sure if this is a monitor issue or not but I suspect it is.
I just bought my first Star Wars cabinet--in pretty decent shape. However, the Wells 6100 in it looks pretty much stock... well there is a suspicious fan mounted in it but otherwise the chassis looks like it has not been capped or anything.
Here's the issue:
The game fires up fine. Nice and bright. But within about an hour, the graphics and text start to pinch in and eventually nothing is drawn correctly on the screen.
Turn it off, let it sit for 30 minutes or so and turn back on... the game runs fine again for about 30-45 minutes. Then the same problem.
Anyone know what that could be? Is it the monitor or the power supply possibly?
I just repaired a Star Trek (I know--vastly different machine EHG08, etc) by replacing a bad power supply. That monitor didn't pinch in though it would just flicker and go dark. It was having a problem with the voltage. Once the new PS was put in the machine that Star Trek has been rock solid. (Knock on Wood--or pressboard.)
