I have an MK4 machine with the original wells gardner k7401 monitor and one day i turned on the machine and the picture was wavy. After a little while of being on the screen started the jump and flicker. I even expireanced the picture going blurry and refocusing once of twice. I thought it was a cap problem so I ordered a cap kit and brought the chassis board and neck board to the local repair shop. They plugged it into one of their arcades and it worked fine. I pulled the power supply out of my KI2 machine and put it in the MK4 machine to see if that was the issue and it still did the same thing. Im worried that the actual monitor is bad. Is there anything else i can check? what normally causes this? Here is a video of my MK4 issue. The video is shot with an awful cell phone camera so the quality is awful. In the video the picture isnt clear but it is in real life. the only thing its doing is the flickering or jumping or whatever word describes this behavior. Check it out.
