WG 6100 tech magnetic interference from control panel?

Interesting problem
Colors are off on the upper rt hand corner of the monitor
should be red for the score in the upper rt mine are purplish
Tried to degauss the monitor no help
open the control panel and colors are as they should be
close the control panel colors are off in upper rt which I think is odd
Anyway I checked the ground for the panel to the harness and from the harness to earth ground all checks out good

Any ideas?

It appears the control panel is causing my monitor interference.
 
space duel
2 speakers under cp and 2 over monitor
Silly question number 1
How exactly would one try to degauss a control panel?

Same way you degauss a monitor. Remember, a degaussing coil is just producing an alternating magnetic field - it happens to be used for monitors, but it'll affect anything ferrous/magnetic. You erase floppy disks with it, for example. Degauss is just another word for demagnetize.

Used a string and a paper clip to test and sure enough the cp has slight magnetic pull on the right side.
 
Update

I swapped panels with my other Space duel and problem is gone

I removed and degaussed the piss out of the panel and put the original panel back on ....
improved but still there.

Have to wait for my ring to stop melting and degauss some more
 
I'm betting one of the speakers under the control panel wasn't shielded and magnetized the CP over time...

Just a wild guess though because I'm not familiar with the HW.
