Hi guys
I noticed a strange behaviour on my Arcade CRT. In bright scenes the screen starts to flicker (or the image gets distorted), but returns back to normal as soon as the brightness in the Games also return to a normal level. Labels on the CRT are missing, but it looks like it's a Hantarex MTC 9000.
I uploaded a few examples where this flickering at bright scenes is visible. Scenes are from Metal Slug, Super Sidekicks and Last Resort. All taken from the Intro / Demo Play. I'm sorry about the video quality, of course it's much better in real life. It's just to show what I mean.

Apart from these special occasions, my CRT is working fine. Back in the days I noticed that behaviour at some other arcade machines. Can you guys tell me what the reason could be for this flickering? Can (or should) this issue be fixed, or can I just leave it as it is?
