OK so I have a Golden Tee Complete cab with Silver Strike Bowling installed as well using the Perfect Solution Double JAMMA switcher. The deal is when SSB is on, the monitor picture looks great. Bright and clear. When I hit the button and change over to GTC the picture is dim and all colors look faded. I tried to turn up the power but nothing there and I do not want to damage the GTC PCB. Any other suggestions on this to get both games looking good? I tried to mess with the controls on the monitor but it only ends up making one or the other look horrible.
 
check and make sure that the video ground is going to both sides of the switcher.

if this is missing then you will have a dark image on screen.

It's possible that switcher might simply split the video lines like I did with my MK1 Aux monitor. For me, the main cab monitor is bright and crisp, but the aux monitor was dim and I had to make out the contrast and turn the brightness way up. This may be the same type of thing. Unfortunately, because you are using one monitor, you may have to live with it or get a different type of switcher. That's where my money lays.
 
Your problem is the silver strike sends out a nice strong video signal that looks good, Golden Tee Fore is known for sending out a dark signal that you have to turn your monitor up. Take any jamma game and plug in a Golden Tee fore board and the picture will be dark until you turn it up.

on the other side, the Silver Strike runs off a computer with a different video card in it.

You may be able to run it on VGA with the output from the video card on the Golden Tee and get a stronger signal than through the Jamma lines.
