Monitor distortion caused by speakers?
Wade:
I have a D9200 which is almost the same monitor, and I didn't know if it had an adjustment for that bow on top but I know it has a lot more adjustments than any other arcade monitor I've seen. It was worth mentioning.
The flyback is a large (roughly 3" wide) black plastic thing mounted to the chassis boards with two small knobs on the side, and a big red cable coming out of the top. One knob is labelled Screen, one Focus. (this is common to all CRT monitors). Use a small screwdriver to very slightly tweak the Focus knob. If you are uncomfortable, do it with the monitor OFF. Just go a little bit one way, and then a little bit the other way, and see if the sharpness improves.
It is hard to judge whether what you are seeing is "normal" or not, by your description, and since you don't know exactly what to expect. And a photo probably wouldn't show it either, but you could try getting some pics if you have a good camera.

Shoegazer: I have the same problem with my cab, but international orders from parts express require a minimum order of $50 (US)! If you don't have any use for the magnets I'll be more than happy to pay for postage and the magnets. I have PayPal if you can accept payments that way.
Let me know if it's possible, you can email me at headkaze [at] gmail.com
