RE: new question- converting monitors from Vertical to Horizontal is it possible?

Just a note - I've been using a cheap ($10) bulk tape eraser from Radio
Shack for a couple of years now with good results.

But, yeah, leave your wallet in another room :)

  And remember, when using a degaussing coil it's a good idea to leave your
wallet in another room. Unless you're real careful or lucky you might erase
the stripe on your bank and credit cards with the degaussing coil. (And,
yes, I've erase several myself back when I had to degauss multiple tubes a
night at my Real Job---and those were the monitors that drew BOTH vector and
raster data on the same screen).

   Hello all. I have a pile of jamma conversion cabs. that easily allow
rotation of their monitor chassis. They only want to function well
horizontally. When I rotate for a vert game i get some blue/purple hues at
the bottom of the screen.I thought it may have been from the speakers and
the lack of metal chassis on the sides of the tube but still does it with
speakers removed.I am unsure of next step to take

        Whenever you move a monitor like that, you usually need to degauss it.
Turning the monitor off and on a couple of times will usually do it (you'll
have to wait about 5 minutes or so for the PTC to reset after you turn the
monitor off, though, or the monitor's internal degaussing coil won't cycle
when you turn it on) or invest in an external degaussing coil like TV
servicemen use. Mat Electronics (www.matelectronics.com) has them, and
they're not that expensive... ($32.50, catalog # TDGC-1.)

        ObVector: I imagine you'd have to do this when rotating vector
monitors, too. :D
