Street Fighter 2 CE Monitor questions...need help identifying monitor.

****Edit Monitor Question below*****






I am pumped about this one. I am 35 and my favorite game growing up was Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition. I was never a fan of Hyper fighting as it just encouraged button mashing. And Super Street fighter 2 got very cartoony. This has been my fav game since 93.

Plus it's a Z back! Very 90s!!!!








Not really a resto... but I am soaking the buttons and replaced all of the microswitches. Fixed the color and set the bad boy to free play. I still have to drill the bottom lock. And I need a new CP

The big mystery... and I have no idea why, or if Capcom was trying to save money but there was only one speaker! The second speaker was never wired up and although there is a speaker grill on the Right side, there are no holes drilled for the screws to go in. 

Anyone every stumble upon something like that? Speakers are cheap!

So here are my questions...

I am getting an inconsistent picture on my Street Fighter 2. When I turn on the machine (where I should have a blue background) I have a black background instead. More specifically the title screen and the character select screen (each have black backgrounds). I have a blueish green muddy thing that appears in the top left corner and sometimes I get really high contrast in colors. Now The machine seems to get better colors once the monitor warms up. Sometimes I can adjust the pots (not a lot, just small turns) and that seems to speed up the process. So I assume (I could be wrong) it could use a cap kit. Something isn't firing right away until it warms up and what ever it is, it's probably going to go bad soon. The monitor seems to be 100% original and not worked on, the last owner told me he wanted it to be 100% original and really didn't know anything about how the game works (you should have seen how he rigged the coin slot to get a credit... instead of just going into free play).


Anyway... those who really are decent with monitors what do you think could be my problem. I don't know and I don't want to assume. Hell it could even be the PCB. I don't know.


Either way I need help identifying this beast. I assume it's a Polo but I have never seen one with a big ass fan. here are some pics.
