I picked up a Pole Position. The cabinet is in great shape but the monitor is solid pink when powered up. Any tips on where to start?

I've done a few pole position boards now and I haven't come across that one yet!

The first thing I do with any pole position board is pull every chip off the board, inspect for damaged, missing legs. Inspect the sockets, and reinsert before moving to the next chip. I've fixed quite a bit so far just by doing that and repairing/replacing the damaged chip.

Ok I will start there, thanks. I have done capacitor kits before, any tips with working on a PCB?
