I just pick up a sf2. the monitor has a nice clear picture the only problem is it is displaying the colors wrong. Blue is orange looking. and the fighters that are people are grey instead of flesh color. I tried adjusting the colors and it didn't help at all. and switched to another jamma game board, and no difference. what could cause this? and how can I fix it.
 
could be the tube is a little magnatized and needs degaussed too..

post a couple pics if you get time. Also make sure its wired correctly... ive seen colors look wrong like that(if its the whole screen) due to mis-wiring aka red is where blue should be and vise versa really messes everything up. Its worth your time to trace back all the way to the jamma harness connector, because its a red colored wire at the monitor pin does not mean it ends up at the correct spot on the edgs connector of the gameboard, who knows if that thins been hacked on etc...



heres how it should be pinned out at the monitor or at least the color inout wires should be this way..

Back to front: (in case you can't/won't check Ken's link)

10 - Negative Horizontal Sync
9 - Negative Vertical Sync
8 - Ground
7 - Key
6 - Positive Horizontal Sync
5 - Positive Vertical Sync
4 - Ground
3 - Blue
2 - Green
1 - Red

and here is a generic jamma pinout so you know what pin of the monitor wire should end up where..ignore the little box thats wired on this was made to show how to hookup a video conversion box

If you find your red and blue are switched, can be a simple of a fix as uplugging the 3 wire color connector, rotating it 180* and plugging it back in.
