I have a bit of a strange issue with my recently purchased Sega Astro City cabinet.
When I attempt to turn the power on, the CRT turns on for about 1 second and then turns right off. Having a game connected to the jamma harness still functions when buttons are pressed and sound does come out of the speakers as well when I keep the cabinet’s power on.
I removed the CRT along with the chassis (discharged it very safely and with following plenty of safety precautions) from the cabinet to check if any connections were loose on the chassis but I couldn’t seem to find anything out of the ordinary or loose. The caps also seemed to look fine to me as well.
I’m not an expert with this stuff so please bear with me with this
The following links are pictures of the Astro City’s chassis and board that connects to the neck tube of the CRT and a video of the cab being powered on with the issue happening:

When I purchased the cabinet it was in working condition and the screen powered on with zero issues but after it was transported, this is what happened and what’s been giving me a headache for the past week now.
Any help or input on this would be extremely appreciated as this is driving me absolutely mad!
Here’s a few more pictures of the back of the CRT and the control board:
