Crazy Transformer question

[Zane H. Healy]

OK, this is a really bizarre question.  My Neo-Geo arcade has been 
acting up, and a couple weekends ago when I tried to take a look at 
it, I couldn't even get a picture.  Today I got the bits to take out 
the security screws so I could get into the part where the 
powersupply is.

It was just up for 4 1/2 hours without any problems.  The only things 
that have been done is to wipe the grill where the fan is off (it was 
really filthy), and to move an old sewing machine that was sitting on 
the floor next to it (unplugged).  The sewing machine was sitting 
next to where the transformer is in the cabinet.  Is there any way 
having it sitting there could have been effecting the power?

It's a really stupid and bizarre question, and I don't see how it 
could effect it, but I can't figure out why the system seems to be 
working now.  Of course a more logical explanation is that there is 
something loose inside.
