Bad monitor day

So today has been a pretty crappy day for my arcade machine collection :-

The Hantarex Polo in Chase HQ is crackling and smells of burning.
The U5000 in Winding Heat is arcing
The K7000 in APB filled the machine with smoke, which started coming out of the coin door.

Trying to keep about 40 20+ year old monitors working all the time is what hinders me from getting everything working at the same time.

In adition to the above from today, I have the following monitors to catch up on.

Prize SI - Dry joints / jumping picture
Glutton - Needs manual degauss
Tempest -Regulator failure
Monaco GP - Vertical deflection fault
Dig Dug - Needs extensive rebuild
Road Blasters - Failed LOPT
Road Runner - SMPSU startup fault
Sheriff - No picture + burning smell
