Just picked up a cab used and am not that familiar with arcade monitors.

That green circuit board was made by Smart Industries, a manufacturer of crane (redemption) games. It must be a ticket dispenser interface board.

Perhaps you have a medium resolution monitor being fed a standard res signal. You haven't mentioned the make & model of the monitor nor posted pictures of the cabinet.

I had the same looking problem and that is in fact what the problem was--for what its worth...
its better to not post and be thought a fool, then to whip out your keyboard and remove all doubt...

Not sure on the make of the cab, is a Korean candy.  Monitor is manufactured by Orion, can't find any specs on the chasis or monitor itself.  If it is a medium res monitor, is there any way I can use a standard video signal on it?  Some sort of converter perhaps?

The picture is not rolling.

If this monitor does happen to be a dual monitor (standard and med) where would I look to change it back to standard?  A connector somewhere on the chasis?

There should be a connector on the chassis usually for 15k and 24k. Don't confuse this connector with the one coming from the yoke to chassis. If there isn't a connector it probably uses another method of switching frequencies or could be automatic. Be best if you could list your monitor type also.
