I recently brought home a cherry and when i picked it up all looked well, after getting home it seems like it has a bit too much green in it. Heres a pic... Where do i begin searching?? It has an orion tube which loks to have been recently replaced and all caps look ok visually
Thanks

I adjusted the guns the best I can and the colors on the bottom of the screen are correct but fades into too much blue as you go to the top

Did it get bounced or jarred while being transported? If so, you may have shadow mask damage or it may be a degausing issue that turning it on and off several times will take care of or if you can get your hands on a degausing coil. Just a couple of possibilities, hard to say for sure

Try to get a solid color screen of white and see if it's pure white... You may just need to degauss the monitor as when you move them they could've gotten magnetized a bit.

Thanks Buzz, I sometimes wonder :103-

No access to a regular coil but made one with a rare earth magnet spinning in a cordless,,,,, pretty crude but did the trick.

Thanks guys

Good job, nice picture! :89-

 


Hold on there Mike, you reinvent the wheel, you gotta at least show us a picture of it and tell us how it works !! 

LOL proprietary info LOL  :79- :79- 

Bunch on rare earth mags in a bunch.......spinning..... if not swirling it wouldnt move the electrons just pull them

Next thing I want to attack is the wiggle on the left ,....... caps ????........ Can anyone ID this chassis for me so I know what to get parts for?

Looks like a ripple in the vertical circuit. Locate the vertical output and backtrack through the circuit to check the caps therein. Unless someone recognizes that chassis and has a more exact location of course...

Gosharootie!
A mechanical degausser?
