Galaga question

Question from John: Hi Guys,

I recently acquired a Galaga that is suffering from what I believe is vertical collapse. It does appear to be playing blind. I have attached a picture (alot of burn-in ). I do not see an IC around the video board. There are a couple of components mounted on heat sinks that look like power transistors. One thing I tried was to re-flow the solder where the daughter board connectors were installed on the main. The chassis is a Wells Gardner 19K4500. Any ideas that you can provide is appreciated. Also if you have any links to documentation on this chassis would be helpful.

One last thing….any recommendations on a replacement tube ?

Thanks for your time,
John from Cambridge, Ohio

PS Love those podcasts! Any new ones on the horizon?
