Actually, in retrospect, it is really easy to refocus/ reset the color purity and beam convergence, but like you, I didn't know my arse from a hole in the ground before I tried it. I was deathly afraid of discharging a monitor, but after doing it once, I realized how simple it is if done properly.

If you're not comfortable, have a TV repair person come and discharge the monitor and help with the refocus. Or, if you like, e-mail me and I'd be happy to walk you through it.

It's like anything you haven't done before- the first time takes you an hour, the second time is 10 minutes. ;)

: Sorry but you guys are over my head. Tom, what is the h-hold knob? This is purely and arcade cab problem. My pc is not hooked up to it. It isn't a big deal but if I can tweak it to make it look better than all the better. Personally I don't see the point in risking my life to make the picture look better. If there is something however that is relatively simple to do and low risk of injury then I might consider it. I just don't feel comfortable doing anything that could possibly get me seriously injured or killed. If it's relatively safe then I'll do it. The whole idea of discharging a monitor by sticking a cord to it didn't appeal to me. Maybe if someone lives in the Columbus, OH area wants to come out and help me with it, then feel free, lol. I'm a newbie to all this, remember so you guys can't be so techie in your wording. Thanks a lot fellas.
