Working on a Wells Gardner K7203 and noticed that the convergence rings on the neck are all loose. Is there a way I can lock them in place? I see white marks on each ring. Are all of those rings supposed to be lined up according to the white marks? Its been awhile since I have messed with any arcade monitors but I think usually there is some adhesive of some sort holding them solid? Please advise. Thanks!

tighten this. and yes the white lines all go together but where in relation on the neck I don't know. I can look at a tube at work. if it was a tube swap then it was probably changed for the tube.

The screw secures the ring support to the neck. Don't tighten it or you could break the neck.

The rings are blocked by turning the plastic ring with the four bits sticking out but if the parts marked in yellow are broken it will not work and the rings remain loose.

In your case they look bad but they didn't fall off yet so you could try to fix them with glue. Or you can look for a replacement.DSCN2066.JPG
 
Thank you for the replies. I have not done anything yet. This morning I took a few more photos. When I say that the rings are loose, they are sloppy on the neck and slide up and down very easy. I am not sure if I am missing the the tabs that are circled above. Should that metal ring be slid back further on the neck? I might have to pull the monitor to get a better look/understanding. The monitor is in a Revenge from Mars pinball.

Here is a video to show how loose they are. Sorry for the poor lighting.
