RE: BZ centering pots:

Moving the rings didn't help as much as I'd like, and I'm
starting to think your right and I may have and DC offset
issue. Maybe I'll put the scope on it and take a look.
I think I'll still go ahead and add the component(s) for the
centering anyway.

        Moving one ring with respect to the other changes the MAGNITUDE of
the effect,
        moving both rings together changes the DIRECTION of the effect.

        These do have quite a range. If it isn't enough you probably have a
DC offset
        problem with either the gameboard or the monitor electronics.
