P538 K7000 Chassis

maybe its the angle of the picture but this pot looks broken to me.

they'll know when green doesn't work. LOL

any and all of those white pots that WG used are incredibly fragile. arthritis was pretty bad in my hands last week and I dropped a K7000 I was working on and wound up breaking the H. Pos pot AND the fuse holder. good thing I had a ton of junk chassis I probably won't be getting around to anytime soon.
 
Here's an update. Replaced IC1. Turn on the arcade and the screen was pitched black. No raster, but had neckglow. I played with the control board with contrast/black/etc. Still nothing. Then I jacked with Vposition and the screen flicked for a second. There was hope.

Then I went back to the flyback and noticed source was turned a bit low (previous comments). Turned it up a tad AND BOOM! WE HAVE A PICTURE WITH VIBRANT ARSE COLORS!

I cried and had a Jameson! I'll go into test mode and adjust the colors tonight. The flowchart needs to be changed where "Flyback turned low but there are raster lines and barely any color? Change IC1."

One more questions, I put in new resistors on my neckboard, but they are already getting a bit burned up. Is this normal?

TL:DR
Changed out IC1 and we're back in business. CHEERS!
