Title: Centipede monitor fadeout
Post by: skipn56 on April 08, 2012, 01:30:56 PM
After running for 2-3 minutes. the screen fades out. First game with limited electronics knowledge. Fly transformer or possibly caps problem?

That's an odd one...

I'd check for cracked solder around the flyback and on the neckboard. Something is happening to the voltages going to the tube.

I would look at you heater and heater voltage. Does the tube continue to glow after the fade out?

I would also check for cold solder joints on the chassis and especially the neck board.
