Ok,
i have been battling with this for about 2 years off and on.  I have a nice DK jr machine.  The only problem with it is the picture rolls (vertical hold).  It rolls very slowly, if you fiddle with the vertical hold, you can get it to stay, but when you shut the machine off and turn it back on, the picture is in the wrong place.  I posted this about 2 years ago and everyone said, your monitor needs a cap kit.  I installed a cap kit, it still did it.  I left it alone untouched for about a year.  I just got a popeye machine in, so i figured i would get this fixed, once and for all.  I put the popeye board in the dk cab, and the picture held fine, i put the DK jr board in the popeye and it rolled.  So, i guess the problem was the DKjr board all along.  My question is, what goes wrong on the DKjr board to make it do this?
