Hey everyone. Pardon my ignorance, as this is my first-ever cabinet. It's a restored donkey kong cabinet running a 48-in-1 board. I noticed this morning that the picture is not centered, as it's more to the right than it should be. I looked through the system dip switches and didn't see anything regarding height/width of the picture. Any ideas or recommendations? It's driving me crazy!!!

Near the top of the 3rd sticky in the forum, you'll read:

Things that are very helpful in determining the solution to your problem:

- The kind of monitor you're talking about. There are dozens of different arcade monitors. It's very, very helpful to know which one you need help with.
 
Thanks, Darren. Considering the cabinet is pretty much sealed up, how do I go about determining the kind of monitor I have?
 
Well, you're going to need to "unseal" the cabinet in order to adjust the monitor. I don't think it can be done with the joystick & buttons.

Unless your monitor happens to be one with a remote adjustment board, which might look like this: http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/53/l_16b11ad138841e8d0943182c800281e1.jpg

...then you're going to figure out how to get up close and personal with the monitor to adjust it.

If you *do* have a monitor with a remote adjustment board: try the one labeled "V-POS". That's the "vertical position" and vertical is side-to-side when the monitor is mounted rotated, as it is in DK.

If you don't have a a monitor with a remote adjustment board, the method of adjusting the picture position varies. A couple of older models may require moving a jumper; many will have a pot somewhere on the chassis. But knowing the monitor model will make it easier to point you to it.
