I don't have much experience with monitors but I DO have Randy Fromm's BIG BLUE book of monitor repair/troubleshooting. I can give it a look. Trouble exactly is...colors went funky and lost blue? yes/no?
Well, they sort of all went out at first.....everything was like green-shaded, then after a few good smacks (is that the technical term?) to the side of the machine the red shades came back....everything but the blues.

: : Wow....that woke me up.
: : I am sure most of you have read the warnings about the voltage on arcade monitors.....heed it wisely! I was just playing Kung Fu Master (I have the original) when all of a sudden the colors got screwy....I think I lost the blue. Although I have built many cabinets and control panels I dont really know anything about troubleshooting monitors.....so guess who got HIT!!? I have been doing electric work for about 15 years now and that was one of the worst shots I ever took. Damn, I even knocked my beer over!!!
: : So, anyone know anything about monitors....what my problem could be???
