Hey all!  I picked up a Galaxian cabinet less than a week ago.  When I first got it, it was playing blind.  Yesterday I tinkered with it, and got a green line down the center.  It turns out the service switch was causing the issue.  Last night, after more tinkering, I got blue and green working.  This morning I noticed that some blue was leaking from the anode cup.  I discharged the monitor, removed the cup, and cleaned everything.  Reassembled and now I have red!  I have been unable to get the convergence right.  The monitor is very dim and, the left side of the image is pushed to the right about 2 inches.  I ordered a cap kit since this machine is 35 years old.  I plan to reflow the solder.  Since I'll have the boards pulled out, may as well recap.  Anything else I should look for, or just do the caps and see what happens?
