Tech: Ms. Pac-Man with yellow line across top of screen

I have a light yellow line that shows up across the top of my Ms.
Pac-Man monitor just above the "High Score" title in the attract mode
introductory screen when the ghost come out. It goes away when the maze
is shown in the attract mode and is not present during game play except
during the intermission screens.

Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

John in WV.

Raise the screen up just a tad and it'll go away....

I had a Ms. Pac with the same exact symptom. It turned out that the +5
was just a tad bit low. (It had a switcher installed, so it was an
easy fix to raise the voltage). When I increased the voltage a bit,
the problem went away.

Thanks Jeff,

I guess I'll have to convert it over to a switcher power supply in the
near future.
