Hey guys. After getting this monitor work and also Mappy, I have a weird problem. Besides the game not lining up on the monitor all the way (I haven't fiddled with that yet), the colors look great when the monitor is set flat, but when I turn it sideways so I can play Mappy, half of the colors are washed out on the rigth side. What would normally be the bottom if it were turned the other way.

Do you think there's a loose connection or is it a weird tube problem? This is a k4600 and I recently recapped it.
 
Also, the image on the monitor "jiggles" quit a bit during gameplay. I've read that could have something to do with resistors or even a mesh covering over the chassis? Any thoughts?
 
i dont know about that, but anytime you move a monitor you need to degauss it.

if you dont have a degausser you can try the old 5 mins on 5 mins off trick a couple times and see if it will degauss itself.
 
No, I sure didn't. Now, though, it's been out there a few hours sideways without me turning it on. Learn something new all the time.
