Stop before opening any arcade monitor. The tube and flyback hold a high voltage charge after unplugging, a knocked or cracked tube can implode, and mains voltage is inside the chassis. Protect your eyes and never lift a tube by its neck. This is CRT work and it is not beginner work.
Picture faults in a cabinet usually trace to the chassis, and worn capacitors are a common suspect. The Electrohome G07 clean-up and recap lists an oscilloscope and a desoldering tool. Vector displays are their own branch, and part one of the CinemaTronics repair names a high voltage probe among its kit. In the 25 inch WG K7000 swap, the replacement tube turns out dim, so the maker tries rejuvenating it.
Desoldering brings burns and flux fumes, and old solder contains lead. For general tube sets see crt.
