To make a long story short, I tried out a cap kit on a Sanyo 20EZ in a Donkey Kong that had scrambled video (kinda looked like horizontal scrolling). Anyway, it failed (still exhibits the same symptoms). Anyone know what I should try next? Any help would be appreciated because I have no idea what to do next... :(
On a lighter note, I got my MAME machine up and running this weekend. It's ugly as sin, but it sure is fun to play a couple of oldies at home... :D

If you have a arcade monitor in your mame setup, try hooking up the sanyo to it. (It will have screwed up colors, but you should be able to see a pic.)
That will tell you if the problem is with the monitor or pcb.

If only it were that easy...
My MAME setup has a 21" VGA CRT. :( Looks great in the MAME machine, though... :D

There are several "Non-Polarized" (a.k.a. Bi-polar) electrolytic capacitors that are NOT included in the capkits that are failing like crazy now due to age.
Not included in some kits are:
C411 4.7 uf @ 25 volts "Bi-Polar"
C162 4.7 uf @ 25 volts "Bi-Polar"
C202 220 uf @ 16 volts
Check C201 100 uf @ 16 volts (was originally 10 uf @ 50 volts).

Ok, I guess I'll be hunting down a multimeter to check that out. Will let you know how it goes. (Yes, those were not replaced, by the way.)
