Devin, From what you described, it doesn't sound like a degaussing coil is going to help you much. The blurring and bending near the top sounds more like a bad cap than a convergence ring or degaussing issue. We would recommend doing a cap kit on the monitor chassis to see if this fixes the issue. Check out our post on Installing A Cap Kit for more information. If the cap kit doesn't help, this issue could also be caused by a bad tube. If you do suspect the tube, you could always try a tube rejuvenator to see if it improves the issue. We have also featured your question on episode 24 of our Q&A podcast. Please listen to it for more of our thoughts on your question. Thank you for your question and good luck with your future repairs.

I just recently bought a 4 player Konami Cabinet (Originally TMNT, but converted to Sunset Riders). It sports a 25″ Zenith raster monitor. I’ve been tinkering with the Convergence rings to line up the colors; adjusting the Red/Blue/Green controls, focus, brightness, and contrast. I think I pretty much have it suited the way I like it but I still have an issue in the upper part of the screen. It blurs and bends the picture near the top. Plus adjusting the convergence rings has no real effect on any of far left and right of the screen. What should i do to fix this?

I don’t have a degaussing coil if that could solve any interment issues.

Kevin, We're you having this monitor problem with your Golden Tee 2K board as well? If not, then we can assume that it is a board issue. There are several monitor settings that you can change from the dip switches for this particular board. This might just be and issue of finding which configuration works for you. Here's a link to the manual for Golden Tee Fore: http://it-offsite.whsites.net/itsgames/manuals/Golden_Tee_Fore_1004.pdf. In the lower right hand corner of page 10 of the manual you will see some dip switches that control the monitor resolution. You could try tweaking these to see if they solve you issue. If the issue continues, you can also try calling the tech support line for IT (Incredible Technologies). It is available on their web site at this link: http://www.itsgames.com/itsgames/Support/Manuals/. We have also featured your question on episode 21 of our Q&A podcast. Please listen to it for more of our thoughts on your question. Thank you for your question and keep us updated on your progress.

I have a question on my Golden Tee machine. I recently upgraded my Golden Tee 2K machine to a 2005 Fore machine. It plays great, but the video image within the 25″ screen is in the center of the screen (acting like a 20″ monitor vs a 25″ monitor). I’ve tried expanding the image to fill the screen, but it doesn’t work, just tears apart the image. The 2005 Fore board is set for a standard resolution monitor (not medium), so I don’t think the resolution setting is the issue. I’ve tried most of the adjustments you’ve mentioned here, but still can’t get it to work.

Is there a horizontal / vertical setting within the Golden Tee boardset? I couldn’t find one. Odd thing is the screen looks like it’s active all the way to the corners, but the video image is only displaying in the middle of the screen. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
