So my generic Centipede cocktail plays blind. It has a great screen with hardly any burn in. The first picture is all I see when the game is on. Its a very dim shimmy-ing snow that changes colors with whatever level the game is on. I swapped boards with a known working centipede with no change. I have neck glow. I tried adjusting pots to no avail. Can anybody tell me what this monitor is and what is wrong with it? And could it possibly be a failing Big Blue instead?

Looks like some type of Toei monitor. Have you tried adjusting your holds? And start with a cap kit...
 
thats weired man...


for one looks like its not syncing per mod.. i agree.. id make sure the sync wires havent been recently messed with, wiggle the video input connectors to make sure theres not bad solder on the header pins, etc...

also, can you turn up the brigntness at all???\ if you can get it brighter you will have a batter chance of dialing it in... also prolly wouldnt hurt to make sure theres not a inch of krap on top of the tube....

if not, i agree caps or mabye bad tube....
 
It never gets brighter than that. The brightness is to the max. I will adjust the holds and report back.
 
Alright so after playing with the holds, this is the best I can get. It will eventually deteriorate and start shaking and getting blurrier and unstable. Although I managed to find what may be a model number.

i think he said its maxed..


well, i think at this point id check it over for cold solder.. if nothing found, id make a cap list and cap the thing..


id think worst case mabye get a wei-ya chassis for the thing, if the tube is good.. do you have access to a rejuvenator?
