Glad it was a simple hardcore fix, just gotta wrestle with the software now ;) |

The way the heat sink was on the processor in there was fine if let be (as I had pulled the mobo out of the case to make it fit and rigged it to sit properly) and it appears that one of the kittens had gotten in there at one point (admitted to me by someone who had left the door off) and obviously knocked it loose. --- End quote --- Usually ends up being something simple like that! We also have had (died recently) a curious cat in the house, makes it very hard to service cabs as it always wants to go in, check out the fascinating dark spaces inside. Cat fur and exposed sensitive electronics are not a good mix. --- Quote ---I was using this as an opportunity to update things but I will have to start over with my windows install and video setup it appears. Having sync issues with my GreenAntz to consumer TV as I can't recall how I had this setup before so I'm just going to start over. --- End quote --- GreenAntz should simply work once you get your 15khz software/install sorted out. Using CRT_emulator? --- Quote ---I imagine I can do better a few years later now. --- End quote --- As always, like your optimism. |

All the critters are now denizens of the outdoors. The last straw was the piglets. Cute, sure, but they are feral pigs after all, in spite of all the hilarious activity. And it truly is hilarious. That could be a thread all its own. Anyway, I put in a different motherboard that I didn't need to mess with and she is back to running. Convergence however is now awful, so whatever feline vandal was in there (probably chasing a gecko) knocked a ring while they were dislodging the heatsink. Joy. At least now I get to learn some other esoteric element of this arcane hobby of ours. Any suggestions on a tutorial anyone?! |

Hopefully some forward-thinking soul has painted some white paint/glue/whiteout across the rings so you know where they should go. See if any rings seem loose. Beyond that, YT seems to have tutorials and many monitor manuals will cover the subject. Oh, and use a large mirror so you can see what is going on when adjusting stuff. |

Bobby! Mikey pointed me to here to see if I can help as I’ve been in CRT land for awhile now. As Zebidee mentioned ideally the rings were marked for alignment with each other. If they were bring them back together and then you can spin them as a group to find where they originally rested. Absent that I would point you to page 5-6 of the K7000 manual: http://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-monitors/Wells%20Gardner%20K7000%20Manual.pdf Also often, but not always, the rings have a color marking on them indicating which is for blue, green, and red. Good luck and let me know if I can help. |
