back to this one!

as i had stated in another topic, the picture wasn't perfect (shaky etc.), so i installed a new cap kit on the monitor. while the screen looks nice now (except for the bad colors which are caused by something else), it didn't fix one problem which i had hoped it would: the vertical size. as you can see on the following picture, the screen is too wide and i wasn't able to adjust it with any knob turning >:(



is it possible that this is caused by a bad big blue? there are two of them in the bottom of the cabinet, one on and one next to the power supply. i didn't even know there were games with two big blues. anyway, i've already ordered replacements (as spares) from bob roberts, perhaps i should exchange them now! could this be the cause of the screen problem?

all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

agreed, i first posted it here but then thought the other topic was more recent, so moved the question over. let's go over to the other side ... :twisted:

Hey Ully, nice to see that your paperboy is good working! :)
I don´t know if your screen problem fixed with exchanging the both big blue cap´s, but it´s a very good idea to do it. that reminds me that i must be order big blue cap´s from bob roberts too. :roll:
I have already two big blue in my paperboy, and i think like you, it is the only cab with two big blue caps i have seen.

I have only one pic to share, it´s taken after a second testing and fixing a problem with the power chord.
As you can see, the cab is now working nicely.  :D



It has actual nice red hunt wilde grips. (not seen on the this pic) I want to take and share actual pics in the next days. ;)
