Customer gave me a coin-op arcade game (mortal combat II) with the complaint
that it crackles & smells. When switched on there's very severe arcing around
the HV cable - purple arcs from HV cable to demagnetisation and gnd cables
around the CRT. I must say that this game hadn't played in a while and may or
may not have been stored in a moist environment. What causes these severe
arcs? Bad CRT, bad LOT? I've never seen anything like this outside a CRT
before...
kind regards,
