TECH: SW Arcade Horizontal Width

[Michael]

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

Hello,

Following a move, the monitor on my Star Wars Arcade standup recently
started to expanded horizontally so there is about 1-2" not being seen on
each side. The vertical is fine, as is everything else. I'm no electrician
or electronics expert, but is there any way for a layperson like myself to
fix this?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

If it is an amplifone monitor then you may want to try adjusting the
potentiometers on the deflection board. It is probably the top one,,,
it is a little thumbwheel dial that can be very sensitive. I am not
sure where the adjustment is made on the wg 6100.


In either case there are also adjusting pots on the main pcb.

Good luck!
