I just bought a Phoenix, and it works great except for one very minor issue. When the birds fly to the far right of the screen, the birds right wing rolls up the edge of the screen. The left side has no distortion, and neither side distorts the starfield. Starfield looks fine on entire monitor. On attract mode, it spells Phoenix, and the lettter "X" in Phoenix on the far right of the screen slightly bends upward also.

I noticed a bunch of vert. and horz hold adjustments near the monitor yolk. Is this something that is an easy adjustment by a novice that knows about nothing??? Will it shift the game play off the monitor edge? Game otherwise works great and don't want to mess it up.
 
Adjusting your horizontal hold, or horizontal frequency pot (depending on what type of monitor is in it) may help. Still, it's a fair bet that the monitor could use a new cap kit....
 
Cap kit sounds right. Someone could have switched monitors and this one needs the sync wire jumped to the next spot or tied to the next sync spot. depending on the monitor brand that is in the cabinet.
