I had a Hitachi GML chassis in my Impress that failed on me. There was an electrical arc happeneing when you would turn the cab on. I sent it out to a few places and was never able to resolve what happened. If I could have found the schematic on the chassis than maybe it could have been fixed.
If you have the Toshiba tube, you can always get an Nanao MS-9 as a replacement, thats what I did:)
Yeah but very dangerous. Hitachi chassis has been flaky from my research. But without the schematic hard to diagnos. It is definitely not a tank like the MS-9.
The Impress cabs with the Toei chassis have known issues with the flyback.

I'll have to dig in and see.
Which sideart? I have 2 Impress'es, one with Capcom sides and the other with Impress sides.
Ah I thought there were two flavors out there... mine had IMPRESS sideart, but if you're going to be scanning, might as well do both for posterity, yes? I'd be extremely grateful!
I had this also one or two times during game play.
Craig (Giz10p) changed aleady the horizontal output transistor, so I don't think this is the problem.
It's maybe the flyback, but I'm not sure. I checked the chassis, tube and the wiring, but it looks ok afaik.

So if anyone could give me a suggestion it would be
Thanks for the reply. Sadly a lot of people I contacted didn't know what's the cause

That is what scares me a bit. I have the click sounds when I turn it off. During play I had it about 2-3 times or even more. That zap sound with the jumping picture happend also 2 or 3 times by now....
If possible, I want to do something before it's too late.
Would it be possible to change the flyback with one, which has similar specs?
