Alright, so I get the Wizard of Wor to actually show an image on screen and guess what... the monitor is acting up...
Evidently only the blue gun is firing as the entire screen is blue... background, characters, everything. What is also strange is that it appears as if the screen is set too high, but the screen knob on the neckboard (strange place for it) does absolutely nothing. Also, the pot that is on the input expansion card appears to adjust the screen, but either the image shows way too much screen (blue hue over everything and you can see the scan lines) or if you turn it down from there the entire image fades away to nothing.
There is no true black showing either...the black has a blue tint.
SO... am I looking at a re-cap or something more? I have a feeling the tube is shot, but what do I know. This, of course, sucks, being that the only other monitor I have is the K4900 which has a shake to it (been recapped) and doesn't quite "focus" completely.
BTW: I tested the game PCB with that 2nd monitor and reds show up, so it's not the gameboard....
