The game machine would not cause this. You may have cracked solder
connections on the convergence output ICs. The WS-55807 was built in 2000,
so if you bought it 2 years ago it sat around for a couple of years or it
was a demo unit. I do not suggest continuing to run the set in this
condition. Sometimes there will be areas of non-linearity in the pix that
can unevenly burn the CRTs. Of course, the games can also cause burn-in, so
you should be running the contrast as low as possible.
