Monitor Help

[dulstone]

I've been fixing a number of SI cabs for someone locally, and have 3
machines up and running, however I am struggling with the monitors as
follows :-

Machines 1 & 2 (Midway B&W cocktail US Import, Taito Trimline US
Import) - both working fine but screen flickering (just like when
monitors are filmed on video). Picture is stable but just flickers.
Is this to do with the fact they are both US machines being run on a
step-down transformer ? Would mains filters help at all ? (I have
recapped the Taito which removed a wavy screen problem, but flicker
remains).

Machine 3 (UK Midway upright B&W) - works perfectly but the screen is
in reverse video. Definitely an issue on the monitor as I have tested
the PCBs in another machine, and PCB is fine.

Any hints, tips or help really appreciated.

Cheers

Rob.

Hey all

Are there any game shows/ exhibitions coming up in the next few months? I
did a little googling and didn't find anything other than 'The Playstation
Experience' which has no reference to the fact that it was in 2003 and that
there hasn't been another one since then... Bit misleading... Anyways, is
there anything? It really does need to be within two to three months at the
VERY most as the boy who wants to go will be too ill after about that long
to be able to go.

Thanks
