Hi Guys...

Here's an easy question for you tech guru's.... When the monitor is
horizontal, all the colours are really nice and well defined... ( The
monitor was in a Starwars cab)

Now I've rotated the montor, the colours are all to pot. :-( The blue has
gone kind of pinky for a start and the green has gone orange iirc... (you
can see this on the video I posted on youtube last night !!)

So... I've read the service manual for the monitor and it mentions loosening
the yoke and sliding back and forth to get a good purity... then to adjust
the rings to get the convergence and fine purity adjust..

Surely I'm asking for trouble moving the yoke... Can I just adjust the
purity rings on the tube ? I'm scared to touch it in case I mess it up...
:)

Anyone had to do this when swapping a vector monitor out before ?

Thanks for your advice... Regards, Colin

Ps... The game started drawing the odd vectors, and then failed completely
again !! - It had blew Ram J3... Thats a few I've replaced so far now !!
