Questions regarding horizontal or vertical collapse
Greetings.
I was fortunate enough to find an Atari Video Pinball recently and, after giving it a visual inspection, I plugged it in.
What I saw was a thin line of video running from the top of the display down to the bottom... in the middle of the screen.
I could see the ball when I activated the plunger, and I there was movement when I used the flippers ... there were also game sounds, etc. so I think the board is working fine.
My questions...
1. The monitor is mounted vertically so a line going down the center from top to bottom means the HORIZONTAL deflection is gone... yes?
2. I think the monitor is the original WG 22V1001 (see my crappy attached picture). Where can I get the components to rebuild this monitor? My google-fu seems to be ineffectual when I search for it.
Thanks!
