sync issue with color monitor in Space Invaders Deluxe

Picked up a Space Invaders Deluxe yesterday (Thanks Tim!) and it has a switching power supply installed and a new Sharp Image S319 Monitor acting as a B&W (RBG wires spliced together). The screen rolls horizontally and tweaking the remote board corrects the problem but it is very sensitive and if you even move the remote board a little bit the monitor loses sync. I tried reseating the connector on the chassis but it didn't help. If you jiggle the wires on the remote board it causes the screen to move. The pot does have some play and the screen will move in either direction slower to faster depending on adjustment. I was thinking that I could just disconnect the remote board and just make adjustments using the pots on the neck but the screen has vertical collapse when the remote adjustment board disconnected. I have included a couple pics of the connection. I checked the power supply and its sitting right at 5.02. I tweaked it slightly up and slightly down but that didn't make a difference. Also, if you get the monitor synced and then turn the machine off it isn't synced when it starts back up. Its either off center or slowly rolling. Hoping this is something simple because I don't know much about wiring :)
