I am frustrated with my monitor that i just had a cap kit put in. When I play a game, the monitor either slightly shakes every few seconds, or goes out. I can hear the game in the background so i know the board works. Please help with suggestions. It is a wells gardner monitor with K7000 chassis 25". too much intensity on the bottom pot of the flyback transformer ?

Need to measure the B+ voltage.

You don't own a multimeter ?

The B+ is on the power supply on the Monitor board, you didn't change it you changed the power supply to the gameboard. 

If the B+ is too high or too low it'll sometimes do things like you're saying.  It could be other things too, like cold solder joints. 

A good first step though is to measure the B+.
