Colour display issue on a six switcher

[Yosikuma]

I recently picked up a six switch 2600 and have noticed an odd issue. Sometimes, colours will switch gradually. At times the green background of Stampede or Kaboom actually becomes red. I have no idea how to resolve this issue. Has anyone ever experienced this??

Check the voltage regulator - gradual color shifts as the unit runs is possible symptom.

And it is heavy sixer and the TIAs in those are known to have issues over time. I've had to replace two TIAs in two separate H6s due to color shifting while playing games.

C106 on the 6 switch, C243 on the 4 switch unts, big 2200uf 16v cap, when it bleeds it can cause color issues as you describe. Very common to fail in this manner. R213 pot on 6 and 4 switch units, although it's not common. TIA color shift under load - this is very common to fail in this manner. My money is on the TIA
