Hello:

I took a monitor out of a Street Fighter II cabinet (actually it is a Tempest Cabinet Converted to a Street Fighter II), and this is what's happeining:
First of all, there is only 1 sync wire. I have the Red, Green & Blue wires in. If I put in the Ground wire before putting in the sync, I get a scrambled picture. I have to put in the sync BEFORE the ground wire to get a readable picture (although it never stops scrolling). Ive tried both syncs (horizontal & vertical), different values 105,106,107... Oh - and I also have a 'pin cushon' screen (which was also evident on the original cabinet it was in.)

How weird is this? I'm almost ready to toss this monitor...

Thanks Guys - Twisting the two sync wires together did it! - Now if I could just fix the 'pincushon'... :) (n/t) PacFan 9/13/2000 (0)
