ThatArtGuy's Joust Cocktail Restoration

Now I'm wondering why removing that jumper was a big deal in the manual. *shrug*
So would re-install that jumper. On most cocktails you want the screen to flip, but on the Joust cocktail you are side by side. That jumper is what tells the machine to flip the screen between p1 and p2.

Since this is a tube swap, I am still trying to get things dialed in. I am having purity and convergence issues. The rings won't move and are cracked. I can't find any glue to remove, and I also don't want to force the rings because they most likely would disintegrate.

The other fun is the top glass. It has a haze I can't seem to be able get rid of. I will have to investigate this further as I really don't want to replace the original glass. Pics are with glass down and up.

I bit the bullet and bought new glass. It was about $150 USD. I took it to a local glass shop, and they cut it to match the old glass, then sent it out for tempering. If you do this, request that they leave the tempering logo off the glass (no "bug"). The glass is 3/16" grey.
 
For some odd reason I can't degauss the top right of the screen completely after multiple attempts to fix it (moving or using wand). I will probably have to live with it.

Does the discoloration go away if you open the back door? My joust cocktail does this too, though usually it will correct itself after a few days.

I had a hell of a time trying to degauss my red tent, and there were some corners that never cleared up, until they magically did. I assume it's the auto degauss that happens every time you fire it up.
