First, discharging a monitor. Instead of factoring a lamp cable with alligator clips on the end, can I just use jumper cables for a car? Seems like it would be fine to do so, but no one has recommended it yet.
Second, my monitor has problems. I am going to cap kit and replace the flyback, but am I wasting my time? Here's the run down:
Neo Geo 4slot, 25". NOT a WGK7000, but some kind of Kortek/A-One. Prevailing thought is that it's a K7000 knock-off.
Brightness and focus is mostly OK, but more blurry than I'd like. If I increase brightness on flyback, brightness is increased but becomes more out of focus.
Focus adjustment on flyback works, but I have it cranked all the way and still out of focus.
The horizontal adjustment knobs work, but regardless of adjustment it is still creating a picture that is a little too big for the monitor.
Vertical adjustment knobs work, but doesn't use 100% of the monitor.
Sometimes portions of the screen get shakey/wavey (common symptom for needing a cap kit).
Haven't tried the adjustments on the neckboard yet.
Thanks for your help.
