When i bought my cabinet, there was no monitor chassis. Just the tube. I was told the tube was in perfect condition with no burn in. After some research i found out the previous chassis was a hantarex polo. did some more searching and found a few people replacing there dead chassis with a 25" chassis from 8liners.com.
So i ordered one and installed it. Powered my game up and what do you know, picture looks nice. so next up was adjusting the controls. here is what is on the little control pod:
-H. Size
-H. Pos
-H. Hold
-V. Size
-V. Pos
-V. Hold
-Brightness
-Contrast
I can get the picture to fill up the entire tube no problem. my problem is that the picture has a bend on each side and when i adjust the h. size for example, the middle of each side touches first, leaving the top and bottom of each side curved in a ways. of course i can keep getting bigger and push the middle past the screen so the top and bottom touch but i was wondering if there was something i was missing.
basically with all four corners of the picture stretched to the four corners of the tube, parts of the game picture are off screen. is there a way to fix this or do i just have to adjust it and get it as close as possible?
do the V. hold and H. hold have something to do with it? each one when turned will scramble the picture if i go to far.

2nd problem.
On the left side of the screen, there is a slight vertical wave about 5 inches long. almost looks like some type of interference. its not too noticeable but i see it every time and it bothers me. if i make the screen size smaller, the wave gets smaller. it stays with the game picture.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
