Help me fix my picture on my Eagle mini before I kill myself!

Well I just bought this Eagle Cabaret the other week and finally got it home today. I was messing around with the knobs because like 2 to 3 inches of my picture is off, needless to say with messing with the knobs I wasn't using a screw driver and it was on and i was turning with my fingers and I hit my hand against the contacts and blew my ass on the floor!! Here is a video of what it looks like, please help I'm not fond of shocking myself

Lesson # 1: No metal screwdrivers unless you know what you're doing and even then it's risky. You were fortunate enough to be bitten by a whimpy baby monitor so shake it off and let's move on.

You need to adjust your horizontal width coil and/or adjust your horizontal frequency/horizontal position pot. Can you show us a pic of the back of the monitor or tell us what the chassis is.

Well look at that cute little rare one. You should have some adjustment pots at the front of the monitor. You may have to remove your glass bezel to see them though. I can see them in your picture where all the white/red ribbon cables attaches to.

ill try taking it off and snapping a pic, so these would be hidden form the under side?
 
alright i took off the bezel and made some adjustments, i can fully see my ship now but the screen can still go up about a inch but the knob is all the way around
 
Keep in mind that your monitor looks to have all original caps and this may be the best it's going to get for now.

yeah, at least i can see the whole playing field now, thanks for the help, the whole machine only cost me 100$ so im happy
 
Keep in mind you are needing to adjust the Horizontal positioning.

Look for a VR452 near the large IC towards the front/left of the chassis. (when facing the machine)

Most likely will look something like this one..... been awhile since I've actually seen a 14" Sanyo.

That's only going to stretch or shrink it.
So in order to show (if even possible) the whole ship you would have to shrink it, which would also mean your gap at the top would get larger.

May just have to break down and cap it and then go from there.

But for $100 you got a sweet little deal there.

right now its shows the entire ship and is a blast to play, it cuts off "free play" at the bottom but after like 20 mins you can see all of "free play"
 
You could try tweaking the horizontal hold... you don't want to go too far or it'll roll, but sometimes that'll adjust the position as well.
