Donkey Kong machine

Question from Jacob: I have a donkey kong arcade machine with a few problems:
1. The bottom of the screen is dim. I have tried to increase the brightness and it doesn’t work.
2. Whenever I turn the machine on, it usually shows up with vertical streaking lines, like static. But whenever I unplug and plug it back in, usually the top half of the display is on the bottom and vice versa. But after unplugging it and putting it back in a few times, it eventually works (still with the dimness problem).
I would really appreciate your help.

Response from Tim: The streaking lines are probably caused by the brightness being turned up even though its not very bright. Good candidate to do a cap kit on. We charge $75 or you can do it yourself for around $15. The Nintendo Chassis is a pain if you have never done one before we should shoot a video on it soon cause its so different, but its just a little more time consuming not hard.
