bad screen burn...G07

Pulled the monitor from my Ms. Pacman tonight... Its a G07 and needs a cap kit.

Looks like a bad case of screen burn...I guess you can't fix this..

Maybe after the cap kit and some brightness adjustments, it won't be so bad...

Advice?

That's nothing. Pac monitors usually look much worse. Clean it up, recap it, and put it back. The tinted filter in Pac games hides all but the very worst burn.

But no, you can't fix screen burn, save for replacing the picture tube.

With tinted plexi that will hardly be noticable with the monitor on. Try to adjust the image so it lines up with the existing burn and it will be even less noticable.
 
Anybody else like me in that they actually kinda like screen burn? I consider it a page in the game's history and I like knowing that the screen has been with the game since the beginning. It's one of those "coolness" things to me I guess. :)

And yep, line the screen burn up before you put the tinted Plexiglas on and I doubt you'll ever notice.
 
I had a ms pac tube in much worse shape than that. I actually did a tube swap on it with a cheap tv. It was a complete swap also, I put the ms pac tube back into the tv, and it still works aside from the nasty burn. :)
