or anyone else who can help me.

So... I finally sourced a Namco JVS > Jamma adapter and was able to at long last actually test this cabinet out. Monitor starts up and color purity, convergence-- all good. However there are a few issues that need to be worked out...

Firstly, there is some terrible pin cushioning going on. Not entirely too concerned by this as I am sure there is a pin cushion adjustment on the chassis somewhere. Have just not spent the time to look for it yet as the chassis on these cabs is not all that easy to get to.

Secondly, there is some vertical fold over going on at the top inch of the display. Now, Im pretty sure this can be resolved with just changing one of the caps on the neck card... however I havent the slightest idea which. So Im hoping someone can help me out here. Might as well just do a full cap kit replacement while Im at it so if anyone can enlighten me as to an entire cap list that I should change that would be excellent!

Now, I recall reading that the cyberleads have an OSD (on screen display) for monitor adjustments.... but, that may only be for the cyberleads 2 cabs? Can anyone confirm this? Thus far I have not found anything that would bring this up, however there are quite a few dip banks on the various I/Os inside the cabinet. So maybe one of them does it.

In any case, the monitor is (I believe) an Eizo 15/24 and the chassis (I believe) a Toei TC-RM251S or TC-RM29J... will get pics up here a little later on today of both the issue as well as the tube/chassis

Pin cushions, vertical fold, jail bars ... in *most* instances the cause is from aged caps. I'm not familiar with your monitor.. never seen the name. You should be able to find a cap list around the net, or a schematic which would also list the components.

If you're die hard, you could desolder all low farad caps and make your own list...
