Hi,

I picked up a Sanyo 20EZV that needed a cap kit. I did that and, when mounted vertically, it looks like there is a magnet near the upper left corner (not sure how to describe it). I've attached two pictures that are the same except one has a circle around the area.

I'm not familiar with this sort of issue, is it just a bad tube or could something else be affecting this that I can change (flyback?)?

Not the greatest shots, but I think it shows the issue. You'll notice the most as you look at the "1 UP" text and slide over to the "High Score" text as it goes from a yellowish-orange to red.

Any help is appreciated!

Did you remember to hook up the degauss coil connector to the chassis after the recap? This is so light, that a couple power cycles should take care of it. But yes, as long as you didn't mess with the purity rings on the tube neck, this is a simple degauss issue.
 
I actually did remember to hook up the degaussing coil connector! (only my second cap). :)

I'll try powering on and off a few more times and see if that clears it up. If not, then I'll see about a manually degaussing.

Thanks for the feedback. I was hoping it was something simple.

Cheers!
 
yup looks like a good de-gauss and you will be good to go.

i make de-gaussing rings if you need one.
