Ok heres the deal.

Namco 20 yr arcade set faces north in garage. Garage also faces north. Arcade set up far back on the wall. On the west side theres a car parking. On east side theres refridgerator next to arcade. Only one arcade there. The 25 inch monitor is bright n crispy except lower right corner. Shows yellowish over orange color. Just abt 6 inch diameters

If i move arcade to face west and it will brings to 8 inch diameters discolor. If i move arcade faces east. It shows perfect color with no discolor??? I decide to move arcade to far left wall faces east and still same problem. Im trying figure why??

Its weird. Help! :)
 
I've had this same thing happen

I've had the same thing happen in my garage with CRT monitors, usually the bigger ones. Colors change on different parts on the monitor depending on direction pointed. You can try degaussing. Just put in the place it looks best, lol

blame the planet earth my man.

I have a degaussing coil.

come over and drop off that chassis I need for parts, and borrow my degausser. :)
 
Shut off the cab.

Put it where you want it.

Leave it off, in the place you want it to be, for more than 30 minutes.

Power it on - the degauss circuit will kick in, and should clear your guass issues.

You can try manual degaussing if that doesn't work.

You may find that no matter of degaussing will work. In that case, your only option with that monitor is to place the game somewhere else.

My buddy Dave had this issue with one of his Kortek monitors. No matter how much degausisng he did, the image would NOT clear up where he had the cab parked. He ended up moving the cab 26 inches to the right, and the issue went away.
