I am getting a discs of tron ready for CAX. Fixed the power issues and I went on to the monitor.

Go7 chassis is doa. I had just recapped a working g07 and I swapped it in.

Fire it up and I get picture. But I can't seem to get it to do sync right. Monitor is rolling right to left. If I move the horiz frequency the monitor seems to get brighter or darker..

Its real pain to pull the chassis, so I thought I would ask. I tried every possible wiring combinaton to 6 pin connector as well as the 3 pin connector.
 
can you verify that your pots are good?

is there any difference when sync is applied and when its not?
 
Nevermind.. I busted out a 2nd g07 and it was doing the same thing. I had taken a quick check of the connector on the pcb. But I rechecked it and 1 of the pins was bent out of position. Bent it back and its working great.

Just have to do the minor cleanup stuff and its ready to go for CAX.

Once the pin was in its proper place the horizontal frequency pot appears to operate as normal.

When your rushing to get a game going you assume the video cable was connected correctly prior to it breaking...

I got all the lights working. Probably going to post this in the main group, but how many black lights should the upright have? I know it should have 2 for sure, but whats supposed to go behind the city scene? I think it a standard florecent.

Lesson of the day, don't sitck a blacklight into an untested light fixture.. Cheaper to toast a a regular bulb.. All the lights are working now, all I have left to to do is clean the monitor and mirror..

Mine came with a standard bulb in back, just like a regular Tron. Mine also had a weird bluish bulb on the control panel. Not sure if that's a "white" blacklight, but it is pretty bright. Should probably change it to a blacklight.

There is also a blacklight behind the marquee light pointing down into the mirror area.

My DOT had a white light behind the scene. The pics of one on the interent also had a white one, but the one I just fixed had a BL back there.
