A month or so ago, I posted some questions about a color issue I am having with the monitor in my Terminator 2 cab. Refer to this post for more background info.

Frankly, I'm getting tired of degaussing the monitor each time I play the game. It's really not necessary, but the discoloration in the reds bugs the hell out of me. I was able to locate a brand new tube for the unit and in the process of locating the tube number, I noticed a few things. Please keep in mind, this is my first arcade game and I am newbie when it comes to monitor repair and diagnosis.
In the first picture I found what appears to be the degaussing wire.... Isn't this supposed to be wrapped around the entire monitor? I have noticed that my color issue does not return after the monitor has been powered on after sitting for awhile. I know per the WG manual that degaussing occurs once the monitor has been powered on after being off at least 20mins.
Second, I found a grey wire cut, think its the neck board ground wire.... It has other grounds going to the chassis, but not sure where to connect this....
What do you guys think? Any info would be very helpful. I do plan on ordering the new tube.... I am hoping it will correct this color issue.... The tube that is installed in my unit now has slight burn in also.
Thanks!
