I recently picked up a Crazy Kong cocktail that needed some work, just about got everything done on it except the monitor. It has crazy colors at the top and bottom, but the center looks pretty good. It also appears to be slightly out of convergence at the bottom. Here's some pics:
Cocktail, player 1 and player 2 (upside down) bad colors:
Here's what it's supposed to look like (using a monitor in a different cabinet that's pretty close to correct):
And for comparison, I hooked up my 48-in-1 to both cabinets, 1st is the Crazy Kong monitor with the bad colors, 2nd is the other cab with good colors:
Bad colors:
Good colors (sorry it's upside down, but I oriented it so both pics matched. Also has "Test" letters because I used to test switch on the cabinet):
A few things I've done: I borrowed a degaussing ring from a friend and it helped a tiny bit. I can get the 2nd beam from the bottom to look a little closer to the correct color, but not much else. I've also twisted the yoke a tiny bit and straightened the pic out (you can see it's not straight in the bad color test pic. I took that before I straightened it). I don't know what kind of monitor it is, other than it's 14" and says Hitachi on the tube. If you go to Bob Roberts "What's my monitor" page, the chassis looks identical to the "unknown1" one on this page:

The cabinet itself has "Taito" and Space Invaders artwork on the control panel.
Thanks for any help!
