Space Invaders restoration
« on: September 27, 2012, 08:37:23 am »
Hey Guys, I'm looking for some help with my Midways Space Invaders restore.  There's a list of things to do but the first thing is getting my monitor working properly.  I was having problems with the screen being torn (see pic) and I e-mailed John at flippers.com and he pointed me in the direction of the horizontal hold control and that seemed to fix that problem.  (John is great and very helpful)!   The latest problem I have is that the screen fades in and out after a few minutes of play.  If I tap on the cabinet by the audio speaker sometimes the picture becomes brighter and other times the picture goes out completely...However the game will play blind.  After turning the game off for a few minutes I can turn it back on again and it will appear fine for a while.  Did anyone have this problem and any and all help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!
  Here's my "to do" list on the cabinet
 Remove bezel and replace all bulbs (COMPLETE)
 Clean Screen / Two way mirror / Moon, Cardboard background & Blacklight (COMPLETE)
 Fix Monitor problems
 Fix "explosion" sound when player base is destroyed
 Fix coin mech / coin up problems
 Restore cabinet
