Brightness/Whitewashing Issue. Happens when machine is warmed up.
I'm new, and have read the FAQ's so please be gentle. I'm having an issue with the monitor on my Marvel vs. Capcom machine. I found a tag on the monitor or a bracket connected to it that says "WG 1527111". Is that a Wells Gardner monitor model? I can look closer tonight and try to find another identifying mark. Anyways, once the machine is warmed up, the picture alternates from being really bright, like too bright/white'ish and a little blurry, to a little dark but in focus. I'm also noticing a bit of a burning dust smell when this occurs. May be a coincidence. It's not burning PCB components I don't think, I know that smell well. Also, if I tap on the CP, or the cab near the monitor the screen will flicker between the aforementioned light and dark. Strikes me as a connection issue maybe?
The guy who sold me the cab got in touch with a repairman he knows and he told me that after being moved it may just need to be adjusted with a knob on the back of the monitor. The tapping affecting the screen makes me think more may be at play here. Supposedly the monitor is newer. Anyone heard of a similar issue? I can get any information, and take any pictures you guys might like tonight and post them tomorrow. Thanks in advance.
Pictures of the cab are in my welcome thread, here: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=227484
