Hello everybody. My wife got me a Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter arcade cabinet about a year ago. It worked great until the other day. While I was playing, the picture went from perfect to what you can see in the attached pictures. I've never troubleshot a CRT and I don't even know where to begin. Is this a common problem? Will somebody please help me troubleshoot this?

Flyback is probably going out.

Thank you ken, I just ordered a new one and I will try to change it out when I get it.
NOTE TO ANYONE ELSE READING THIS:
Removing the flyback can be dangerous, do some research before you try it.

I'd also check the solder joints on the 3 transistors on the neckboard.
I know on my WG monitor, 2 of 3 have broken traces and need stitch soldering to repair.
My screen is also "All green", but when I wiggle the transistors, the other colors come in just fine.

Noted, thanks for the response, I'll take it apart this weekend and check the connection on those transistors.

They have little heatsinks on them, which add some weight to them. If the heatsinks were soldered to the board as well, it would be a much better design!
