Your problem should be fixed by playing with the knobs. Focus knob I think controls that.

Free tip: discharge and remove the monitor before taking it upstairs. The cabinet is top heavy with it in, and the monitor adds 30 pounds or more. Also, see if the control panel is removable, it doesn't effect weight much, but it makes it easier to fit through doorways.

: The CRT looks good in some screens, but if there is to much white in an area, it blurrs bad off the the pixels around it. Does this mean it's dead? Or is this a setting on it? I really don't want to purchase a new TV to put inside... (let me reword that... my wife doesn't want me to spend more money on the console..)

: So, my over sized Captain America and the Avengers arrived today. I haven't got it inside yet since it's quite big and bulky and I live on the second floor. Hopefully this afternoon... but I DID bring a power cord down to it for testing. Plays great! It was origanally another game. I can't figure out what (can see a little bit under the sticks on the controls. I'm guessing something with 4 players that start with a G and ends with a C that has a gun (can read gun on a how to control sticker under the CA&A sticker). I'm not going to start the conversion for a few days since CA&A isn't emulated. I'm also planning on making it so I can put the original board back in without trashing everything... Hopefully that works!

: Anyway... any help on the CRT would be greatly appreciated!
