Hi again folks. I inherited a couple of of Daytona LE cabinets a month or so ago (talk a little bit about it here: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=91859 ) of which one had a bad CPU board.
I just got my replacement board today and fired it up. The game itself seems OK but the picture is kind of wonky - the colors aren't quite right, bleed a bit and the whole picture is shifted maybe not quite a 1/4 screen width to the right.
Now, I am a total novice when it comes to cabinet repairs but I'm not afraid to learn. I've got a couple questions.
1) Is it possible it's a simple monitor adjustment? I presume the adjustment dials are all on the back of the display so I'd have to take the CRT "cover" off the back of the cabinet to get to them?
2) I did a search for "monitor problems" in this forum and "cap kit" seems to come up a lot. What is that? Capacitors? If so, I assume there is more than 1 "kit" so how would I know which one to get and where would I find such a critter?
3) Lastly, could it be something else entirely? I tried taking some photos but dont have an SD drive here to download them so I'll post them later... hopefully they turned out OK.
Thanks again and I appreciate any help or advice!
