@lukemorse1 150$.........
man thats like paying half $ of a decent lcd monitor
don't bug with those old dinausaurs they will ALWAYS I MEAN ALWAYS BREAK
they are passed ,
Yes it's classic , yes it's the original arcade feel , okay fine but remember back in the days a game was costing 5000$ alone....
Id say don't pay 150$ to get a pcb repaired , 50$ would be ok.... even then

i have exactly the same problem,it looks ok when i reduce the image width en height but it's way too small then
have you been able to fix it?
-
@lukemorse1 so did u ever get this fixed?
-
As erlendse said, definitely a problem in the vertical sync, making it kind of out of sync and weird. Usual symptoms are dead scanlines or "stretched" picture. Capacitor problem, most likely.

Looks like a problem around the vertical amplifier, you may be able to follow the wires from the yoke to it, it's 2 pair of wires from the yoke and you are looking for the one that doesn't connect to the high voltage transformer.

Thanks for the advice man. I sent in the monitor PCB 2 days ago and the arcade repair company said that they could repair it but it would take 4 days and around $150. It think it's too much but I don't have the resources or parts here so I passed it off to them. Hopefully they can get it back up and running and I can play my games again.

There's a user on youtube by the name of yourmameman, he knows a lot about this kind of thing, he helped me fix my Die Hard machine's monitor. Send him a message, he's really nice. I personally think it may just be your caps.

Yeah, he's great. I've asked him for a lot of help and he's awesome. If you have an arcade machine and you are not subscribed to his channel, you should do it without hesitation.
