Technical question about a frogger arcade game.

[boomtownpizza1971]

I have a frogger upright arcade game that was not getting any power at all. At first I suspected the power inverter but after closer examination I found a faulty tokin noise filter. I jumped around the noise filter and everything is working fine, my question is how vital is the noise filter? Should I replace it or just perminatly jump around it?

 

Advise would be appreciated.
