Title: PACMAN Screen Curl and its NOT the monitor...is it? Post by: OriginalTHK on June 02, 2015, 02:26:51 pm Ok guys this is the deal. EVERYONE keeps telling me over and over ..."you need a cap kit" "what monitor you have" "adjust your monitor" blah blah blah
LOL Heres the scoop.... I have an original pacman stand up aracde machine. when I first got the machine it worked ok but it had a screen curl just like this link.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqmH4RYZTWI&feature=youtu.be (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqmH4RYZTWI&feature=youtu.be) I have replaced almost EVERYTHING in this machine. Replaced 1. All wiring 2. Pacman PCB 3. Monitor 4. Fuses and fuse blocks I think it could be the isolation transformers since its the only things I haven't replaced. Ideas? I am at a loss for ideas. Thanks Title: Re: PACMAN Screen Curl and its NOT the monitor...is it? Post by: iankellogg on June 02, 2015, 07:33:06 pm you can't post a link to a video that shows classic G07 curl. Take your own photo otherwise I am going to just say, do the G07 curl mod.
If you haven't already, remove the filter PCB that is between the harness and the game PCB. its worthless and only adds frustration. The isolation transformer shouldn't cause any issue like a curl. They pretty much work or don't. Title: Re: PACMAN Screen Curl and its NOT the monitor...is it? Post by: VertexGuy on June 02, 2015, 10:37:49 pm Ok guys this is the deal.

Thanks If its a 4600, look on the darker XY board for a hidden adjuster hole. Be careful not to break the ferrite core adjuster though.
