Wells Gardner color vector 6100 question

[David P]

Hi guys ,
 I notice lately when I fire up my 1983 Atari the wg6100 shows redlines all over the place feeding the graphics until the monitor warms up after about 10 or 15 minutes they are for the most part gone although I notice one small bright dot in the middle of the monitor almost passes as a star so no big .
The monitor never used to do this and since it is my only vector game I was wondering if any of you with more knowledge then myself could tell me what this could mean? Is it time for a cap kit? is It a flyback problem or maybe a brightness adjustment?

Thanks for any help in advance I also notice in some of Johns newer videos I don't see his Atari in the basement anymore? I can't imagine John would have gotten rid of such an Atari Holly Grail?

John traded his for a 720 and robotron.

I would start with adjusting the brightness and some of the neckboard adjustments. If you haven't capped the monitor before it is always a good idea. Most caps really only last for 10 to 20 years.

Thanks Ian I can't believe john would get rid of such an Atari Holly grail ..

Thanks for the advice I just found out about you and your services enjoyed watching your I-robot restore video with John.

I will most likely be ordering the 6100 cap kit from you soon the supplier where the game came from claimed it was all done but my experiences have taught me most of the time that's all bs.

Expect an order in the near future .
