I just picked this up today at a garage sale along with an Up Scope.Anyways I plugged it in an the monitor is way off.I had a spare monitor from a Commando and saw both plugs were the same so I hooked that monitor up to the game.It worked great so I am guessing the board is fine and hoping something just needs an adjustment in there.I know little about this stuff but I am learning and gave it a shot myself before asking here.Heres some to help and thanks for suggestions you may have.

From the pictures, it looks like the convergence if way off on your original monitor. There is a series of rings on the neck of the tube that you can adjust to correct it. They are the brownish rings that are in the upper left on the picture tube in your last picture. If you can dig up a manual on the monitor there should be a description on how to do it and an explanation of which ring controls what.

Monitors don't normally go that far out of convergence without something happening. Like the game being dropped, someone adjusting the rings or the rings slipped down on the tube.

it's not rocket science adjusting them just carefully break away the hot glue and with a mirror in one hand and being carfull in the other just slide the rings one set at a time until you have a good equal pic. it might take a little bit but should work. Good luck.
