this monitor is in a bally game maker touchscreen slot machine. as you can see in the pics, the screen has a vertical black band, and the image is shifted to the left, with some of the left side text on the right. i took it to a local monitor repair shop, he played it it for a while, had to make a connector and hooked it up to his test generator. he thinks its not the monitor, but i tried a different MPU board and the results are exactly the same image. during his tests, i could sometimes see the whole screen correct, and other the band was somewhat there, but not as prominent. adjusting the pots doesnt help.
should i re-cap it or is that a waste of time? send it out??
also, there is a little side board, i assume its for the touchscreen? i had to cut the 3 wires from the chassis to that board, and make a connector, there was no way to disconnect it.
finally, i didnt notice till later the connector on the chassis marked yoke has two rows. does it matter what row i reconnect to? looks like it was the top row, with the shiny pins.
thanks
