Monitor issues
« on: January 31, 2006, 08:17:23 pm »
Please bear with me here as I am real new to arcade repair. 

I built this cabinet a couple years back, it is a standard JAMMA only machine.  I moved a year or so ago and didn't touch the machine for a while.  When I did get around to getting it all setup, I started noticing this problem intermittently, but it would go away.  Now the monitor constantly stays in this state.  I wish I knew how to describe it, but I don't, so I am including a picture.

Upon furthur reading this seems like it may be called a pincushion issue.

Also, the display type is a Hitachi 25".  At least that is what is on the sticker on the tube.

Correct.

That's who makes the tube.  The chassis may or may not be labeled.  Can you get a picture of the chassis, it makes it easier to identify.

I will take the back off the cabinet tomorrow and get a picture of it.

Pincushion problem alright. Monitor probably needs a capkit.
