1995 Krazy Bowl cabinet has a purple spot in the corner. Is there an auto-deagause feature on the monitor or should I borrow a degauser from a friend?
 
Um - without knowing what monitor is in it, how are we to know?

But if you can borrow one, do so...
 
Most monitors will have a brief auto-degaussing on power up. Some will take a bunch of power cycles before they will correctly degauss. Normally over the course of daily use, they will correct themselves (minor gauss issues only). That's where the wand or coil comes into play. It's a much faster route and will work on more severe cases.

You could also try changing the orientation of the game (think north, south, east, west)... Rotate the cabinet or change its position within the room and see of anything changes. Many times games will interfere with other games (or appliances) in the vicinity.
 
Thanks for the info. The spot is already getting better after some use. It's a new cabinet in the garage so not much near it. Picked it up for almost nothing. Took me 30 minutes to remove the Pepsi virus from main board. Just washed it down, popped out the chips, set the oven for 175, let it cool to about 125, and let the board bake for 15 minutes. Everything came out perfectly dry. Game now works great!
