A couple of things to try --

- for your monitor problem make sure you've got a solid ground
between the monitor chassis and the rest of the game grounds (which
usually all terminate on the power block in the bottom). Should be a
separate wire (or braid) -- been too long since I was in one of those
cabs. If it were me I'd check the grounding throughout the game --
usually there is the braid/wire from monitor, pcb chassis, CP, coindoor,
etc all homerunning to a single point on the power block. Undo each
one, clean the connection, and reattach.

- for your artifacts, well, the above might fix it (if grounding is
the problem). The other popular thing that goes wrong with those MCR
games is the interboard flex connections. CAREFULLY remove each one and
put it back in (that's usually enough if that is the problem)..
