I bought a pacman with a g07 electrohome monitor. The picture had two problems. A one inch wide maze curl or the right edge of the maze. The entire maze waved like it was a flag floating on water.
I did the Bob roberts cap kit with a new flyback. I did not change the width coil or the frame transistors. They looked in good condition. I also did NOT do the maze curl mod included with the cap kit.
I turned it back on after the new cap kit and flyback, and the wavey maze floating in water effect was gone! I found 2 leaking caps that most likely caused that. The only problem was that the right side maze curl was still there. I scratched my head for 15 minutes, and then notice the maze curl was completely gone. I turned it back off, then on again, and the maze curl was back. I watched it for 15 minutes, and with every passing minute, the curl slowly irons out. It 15 minutes, the maze is flat and completely normal. I hate to mess with normal even if I have to wait 15 minutes to get it.
Any ideas of what causes this or what to do? Should I do the maze curl mod. I hate to mod stuff. It can't be the monitor warming up because it was just on a couple minutes earlier. It can't be the Hort hold because the maze in centered on the screen.
Thanks for the help,
Rick
