Does the spot killer come on? You may want to have a look at your board
on a scope while playing also. You could still have a HV issue, but it
sounds a bit more like a deflection or VG issue. Also, go through the
self test and see if there are any Math Box or Matrix errors.

JB,

The dim image always happens after the Death Star explosion or when
there are many objects on the screen. (Actually, replacing the fuse
holder rectified the dim image after the Death Star Explosion) Now it
is happening During the third wave dog fight.

I read a suggested fix of running an additional +5v and ground from
the ARII to the game PCB to "fix" the issue of blooming. I want to try
and nail down the dim image problem first.
