Quoted from chooch:

I wasn't sure if this is something a cap kit would fix or not.

9 times out of 10 that's the answer.

Quoted from chooch:

Seemed a little strange how once it is on for 10-15 minutes the issue goes away but I'll get a better idea once I see it in person.

Not really unusual actually, things warm up, old dried out caps get their act together finally etc. I highly doubt it's the flyback, cap kit would definitely be the first order of business.

Hi Fellas
Don’t want to hijack the thread but a quick question on the same subject. Have a upright Pac-Man. Monitor is ok but was wondering what kind of investment I would need to make to convert to led? Worth it?? Always liked the “appearance” of a crt in videos than an led or lcd. Thank you

Worth it? In what sense? It will look awful and people who enjoy old games will hate it and privately think you're some kind of monster.

New CRTs aren't the easiest to come by, you gotta just sorta keep an eye out for replacements that are burn in free if that's the concern. They're out there, but you mostly stumble on them.
