Fixed!!! - narc too much green WG k7000, possible short
I think I have a short in my green gun. The game has a green tint to everything. When pulling up the diagnostic screen and testing each indiviual color I get all three colors except they are off. At first I thought it might be a bad pot but putting a multimeter on the resister next to each pot. I get the same resistance betwee all three colors. And all three change equally when adjusting the pot positions. So I decided to start from scratch and unplugged the signal cable and adjust my screen, brightness and contrast. Well instead of getting white, then grey, then black when turning the screen all the way up and then backing it down. I get Bright green, dark green, then black. This is with all drives set in the middle and all cut offs turned all the way down. If I try to turn up the red and blue cut offs to try to turn the screen grey, I get no change just alot of green. So does my speculation sound correct? Like I said all colors work and are adjustable. If i turn up red and blue real high the picture looks almost correct except for the horrible bleed over. Any input is appricaiated. Hopefully I'll be puchasing a rejuvanator and cap kit soon. Unless someone local in the dfw area would like to try rejuvanating this tube for me.
