Hello all! I'm new to the forum and arcade machines in general and have only posted a few times to this forum. I hope this is the right place to post the video of my mrs pac man acting up.  Here is the video of what it is doing

Probably power supply related. Are you running the original one or a switcher?

 :applaud: I got it!!! here is the vid it has the original power supply but that had good readings with my multi meter. Ended up being a corroded harness connection to the PCB. Two questions, should I switch the out the original power to a switching PS and should I re-tin the legs on the pcb at the harness? one leg (pin) looked like it could pull up\off and all of them had an almost burnt looking patina.
