check the voltage supplying the monitor (from the pcb - NOT the loom)

and look at the video cable, i had a b/w game once and the cable was shielded for a good reason - composhite video is easy to defocus or distort.

i am assuming here that your invaders is a midway b/w version(the 'L' pcb-set), not a taito colour version(3 pcb set).
