I don't have much knowledge about these arcade monitors. I just got a 2nd cab this last weekend, a Gauntlet Legends. It has a 27" monitor in it. The tube says Zenith, but the chassis has a sticker saying it must be replaced only by WG K7500.
When I power on the game the bootup red text is all blurred and unreadable. If I go into the test menu and look at the monitor tests here is what I see:
The color bar test seems to look ok to me but the shape is pincushioned. Is that normal:

The white convergence test shows violet squares shifted when the game manual says everything should be even squares:

The violet convergence test shows blurry image in all 4 corners, worst in the bottom two:

I was told the convergence on this monitor is on the stem with 3 plastic tabs. They are glued and probably were from factory. There are some voltage warning labels in that area. I haven't messed with it yet.
I was told the monitor is medium resolution only. I was hoping it would support standard as well.
Is there anything I can do to fix these image issues? They do affect gameplay because some of the messages as you pick things up are blurred on the bottom of the screen or offset making them difficult to read.
I can link more pictures too if you think that would help. The focus was adjusted as I picked up the cab so I could read the test menu text. Maybe this made the game image worse?
