I know this question is probably better suited for somewhere like the KLOV however I know a lot of people on here also collect arcade games so figured I would check first. I got a call from a friend who has a sitdown pac-man machine and when they turn on the machine the screen is a little blurry/fuzzy but after 15 minutes or so it looks fine. They have owned the machine for a long time and it just started to act this way recently. They know I collect pinball machines and asked if I could go over and check it out. Being the friend that I am I said OK but it's been a while since I messed with any arcade games. I seem to recall a few of my games in the past behaving this way but I always ended up selling them before fixing them.
So I was looking for some suggestions/advice as to what the issue could be. I haven't seen the machine in person yet and will likely go over in the next few weeks. I wasn't sure if this is something a cap kit would fix or not. When I had arcade games I never messed with the monitors that much because I know they can be dangerous with the high voltage. I'll search around the web and see what I can find on the issue however figured if someone knew or had a good idea what the issue might be that would save me a lot of time.
