I just bought a Galaxian cabinet. (Midway) for $50.00
I was just going to use it for the cabinet, until I pluged it in.
The old farmer whom I bought it from, said it was not turned on for 15 years.
When I got it home, and cleaned the bird shit off of it enough to see, it worked GREAT. Dim, but great.
The Graphics were 95% with a little distortion.
I Took the cabinet apart and cleaned it up enough to take it into the house.
The Marque is only slightly bubbled.

Once I put it back together it worked great. After
two days of heavy play though, the graphics deteriorated. The game is still playable, but the overlay colors are gone. The insects are the right shape, but of solid color. The small background stars are missing, as well as the score. It is like I have lost the color channels. Or maybe the monitor became a 4 color monitor.

Did I lose a leg of the monitor, or maybe the graphics eprom went bad?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Phydeaux
