I finally got an Atari Food Fight that is in really nice condition with the exception of the Disco DMC-2090DT-2A monitor.
It has several issues:
1. The monitor display is dim and not visible under normal lighting. The only way to play the game is in the dark.
2. The monitor has bad pincushion. Narrow at the top, wide at the bottom.
3. The monitor display is wavy.
I'm wondering if just doing a cap kit would be enough to fix these things or are there some other adjustments that I can make?
I didn't see a brightness adjustment, would that be the "SCREEN" adj knob on the inside of the neckboard?
Also, it looks as if someone did a poor solder job on the back of the neckboard, is this supposed to be there? I don't have another Disco to compare it to.
I've never worked on a monitor before but I feel comfortable in discharging the monitor and capping the board. It doesn't look like it has ever been capped.
There is a Red "B" connector floating in the harness - I would assume this is for an alternate monitor??
Where should I start?
