Went by to work on the arcade machine some more yesterday, a couple things:
1. Picked up a spraycan of silicone-based lubricant to fix a squeak and resistance on the P1 joystick, and did P2 while I was at it. Is the spraycan the way to go, or is there a "tube" of silicon lube I need to get?
2. Noticing problems with the television I installed in my cab. It's a 27" TV, quite old, and after playing for a while, the picture will start to darken, then go completely black over the course of roughly 2 seconds or so. Sometimes it will stay like that for 7-10 seconds, then come back on with the picture from the tower and the words "S-VIDEO" in the top right, as if it was just turned on. Last night, it got even worse however; the picture faded out, and then all the television would do is click on for 2 seconds, click off for 1, ad infinitum, until I switch it off with the television controls and wait for a while with the television plugged into an "always-on" port on the smart switch. Is this one of those scenarios where a cap kit would fix this, or is it further gone than is worth putting time and effort in on?
