Pink eraser is the wrong eraser - the magic eraser is the way to go. Blowing on the cartridge or re-inserting it is good for a quick fix even.
JAMMA can't be at fault there.

Isn't it a bad idea to have wires hanging down in front of a CRT screen which generates a static charge?

I do agree the graphics glitches are probably just related to a dirty cartridge or connector. A little cleaning and you should be good to go.

It would be nice to have some good 32" analog CRTs to modify to accept RGB. The only 32" CRT I have is unfortunately digital (HDTV) and I've noticed some oddities with it and lightguns do not work on it. It eliminates the whole advantage CRTs usually have, being analog.

I reseated the cartridged and the bars cleared right up. The next thing I'm wondering is if I need to put any input protection on the connector when I get it installed.
