after getting the chassis on a dead machine rebuilt, I got it in and up and running.
any thoughts on this red bleeding on the edge i'm seeing? I played around with the colors on the test pattern and got it looking pretty good but this was still bothering me.

Will a rejuv fix this?

Either the purity is misadjusted, or it needs to be degaussed. If you have a manual degaussing coil (or feel like making one), you can use that. Also, the monitor will degauss itself every time it's turned on from cold. So, if you shut it off, wait a half hour, and turn it back on, it should diminish or go away. Might take several tries of this, or it might not be able to clear it. Depends on how magnetized it is, and if the degauss circuit in your monitor works.

If degaussing won't make it go away, then the purity rings might need to be adjusted. You do that with a solid red, green or blue screen, and adjust so that you're getting solid colors. But first try the degaussing, it's pretty rare to need to readjust purity unless the rings have been moved for some reason.

looks to me like it needs degaussing...sometimes just moving the machine to a different part of the room or even just turning the cabinet a little will get rid of the problem...turn it off, move the game, then turn it back on...
 
if you dont have a degasser power it up 5 mins at a time off for 2.. aqfter a few powerups like that it may degauss itself( if the built in degausser is working that is :D)

that thing looks like twice as muvch fun as my op wolf :(

It's really fun.... yes I used to dump money into it w/ my brother. I got to the end boss w/ 4-5 credits. I'll try what you suggest...
