Hey folks, new to the forums. Have had at least 1 game in the house for the last 10 years, and have often used these forums as a knowledge base because any question that I had, usually had been asked (and answered) first.
Recently I picked up a MK2 (w/ polo 25") with some exterior cosmetic damage for $50, but amazingly, the PCB worked, and the monitor was bright with great color. The only problem is that the monitor gradually compresses the image from top to bottom. On the test pattern screen, the top row of boxes are tall, the next are a little shorter, the next are even shorter, and the bottom row is about 66% the height of the top row. During gameplay, it makes the fighters look like they have stumpy legs. I purchased a cap kit from Bob Roberts, and am about to go to work, but I thought I'd take a couple days to see if that is really going to help. Does anyone know what causes that problem? Maybe I'm headed in the wrong direction. Thanks in advance!!!
