I need some help in figuring out how to fix an issue with a Ms. Pac cocktail monitor. ¾ of the screen is crisp and colorful but the lower right side starts to blur and bleach out. Any thoughts or remedies?

turn off the game for a couple hours and see if the chassis's deguassing circuit will get rid of the impurity when it comes back on. If that doesn't get rid of it, you may need to get a degaussing coil to remove the color issue.You can also spin the cabinet add watch the screen to see when the colors look right if that works for you.
 
I have the same problem but worse

What is the answer to fixing this issue,I tried two different monitors and the color change happens on both,my issue is also cocktail ms PAC related,I can open the monitor door and lift up about three inches out of the cabinet and the colors are perfect,let the monitor back down and the colors wash,what's the answer?

Nope it still has the issue after I turn it off for a couple hours. I'll try a degaussing coil to see it that works. What do you mean by spin the cabinet? Like literally rotate the game around? I've moved the game to diffenent locations and the issue is always in the same spot.

That is strange could it be the speaker magnets are too close to the monitor?
 
I did a search on YouTube for degaussing coil just so I can see how it works. I found (and I shouldn't be surprised) that the Arcade Repair Tip guys did a video about it.



From the video it does sound like my monitor is having the issued that is discussed. Thanks cbuschief for steering me in the right direction!
