Does the b+ pot make any change? I'm curious if you can adjust it down to 90vdc, or if you see it change in different positions.

Is there a way you can post a video of exactly what is happening sometimes when a repair Tech looks at the problem it can give them some additional insightUnfortunately, the "shimmy" is still there, as well as what I can only describe as "half bullseye" ghosting on the screen (kind of like those old drawings of a magnetic field) - it's not colored any differently than the part of the image on the screen or anything rainbow in appearance. I've checked to make sure the monitor chassis is grounded, and I've gone as far as to tie logic ground to earth ground on the switching power supply for the game to see if that would change anything, but that didn't help.
Have you measured the incoming AC voltage from the wall into your cab and eventually the monitor plug.
Maybe your AC is like 130vac or something on the high side.

that area doesn't change the inductance range so its not needed so there is no reason for threads and the factory won't do that for some stupid reason either. if you tapped it with an M6x1 tap you could add threads but if you put a meter on it you will see it doesn't change and the range only has about 75uH - 210uH range (technically twice if you screw it from top to bottom).Unfortunately this repair will be on hold now. I bought a new width coil since the old was broken. The new coil would not turn. I watched one of zenomorp's repair videos and he showed the fix for this, since the replacements are not threaded in the top part of the bobbin, so you cannot adjust them in an upwards direction. Following his directions, I attempted to thread the top part using the ferrite, grease to lubricate it, and a width coil tool. The ferrite got stuck at one point and could not be advanced nor unscrewed, so I had to resort to a metal Allen key and broke it. @security0001, why aren't they manufactured with threads? I saved the old coil and am wondering if the old ferrite core (which unscrewed easily) can be used in the new coil or if I'm just going to have to buy another complete assembly.
