My new Galaxian is only displaying Blue, and has some jail bars that are crosswise across the screen. I Havent fixed may monitor problems.. but i tried messing with the color pots on the neckboard. this did nothing.

Sorry for the poor picture. Thanks for the help guys.

Man, if the monitor is a 4500, and it most likely is.... you're probably out of luck. It's just a crappy monitor that's seen it's day long ago... it has a strange yoke, it's really hard to get a nice picture on, and was probably the worst monitor Wells Gardner ever made.

...and I'm a guy who saves and uses everything. Just not 4500's :)
 
This monitor says WGK4601 on it... Any help from you pro's on what I can check or what might be causing this?

Since it's a 4601, that's a good one. If you look, there's two small cards that stick up on the back of the monitor, the one on the left has a big wheel right in the middle of it that adjusts the 'black level' . Turn it up and see if any of your picture comes in. If it does, you'll have a really bright screen, so turn down the black knob on the neckboard.

The reason you have the jailbars and weak spots is because all the caps are probably 32 years old.
