I finally got some good news today...I pulled out my Nintendo cab that I rejuv'ed to do some more color adjustments from the SMB board, worked GREAT! Everything looked mostly right except tint in a few areas of the game, but overall way better than it was. No bleeding or ghosting. Fantastic.

Moved it back up against the wall, flipped the switch back on....color's jacked up again. I know it's not the monitor pots, this hasn't been an issue previously. I'm guessing the pots on the VS. board are loose, and are shaking back to a vibration induced "default" position when I move the cab. I can readjust it, no biggie, but how do I make sure these things aren't moving afterwards? :|
 
Hope not, but if it's that, wouldn't a degausser fix it? Because, you know, I need a reason to spend more money lol. It's really in the perfect spot and turning it means we cat use it. I'll give it a shot when I get home. :p

It's currently facing east, pretty sure.
 
Get a bulk tape eraser (from Radio Shack or order one online) and then do the degaussing using the tape eraser with the cab in it's final position. This fixed up some color problems I was having.

That was probably your thread I was reading if it was in the last few weeks, lol. Honestly doesn't seem like this is a likely cause though. I have Dr. Mario in the same cab and it looks fine after the rejuv. I'm still gonna give it a shot, it can't hurt. ;)
