Are all of the lines in the game slanted like that too?

Electrohome G05-801 i can only tell that with the score. he says that he tweaks the pot for it and it comes back. i will try and clean the pot this week for him.

Title: Re: my buddys asteroids monitor problem Post by: lojack on March 27, 2014, 07:04:02 am well i cleaned the brightness and contrast pots and re adjusted them. still no luck. i wonder if it is the Y amplification. has anyone ever adjusted this on this type of monitor. i tried to adjust but they were siliconed (lack of a better word) in place.
thanks Title: Re: my buddys asteroids monitor problem Post by: John's Arcade on March 27, 2014, 08:44:59 am well i cleaned the brightness and contrast pots and re adjusted them. still no luck. i wonder if it is the Y amplification. has anyone ever adjusted this on this type of monitor. i tried to adjust but they were siliconed (lack of a better word) in place. thanks You just gotta break the glue.
