[TECH] Tron - monitor problem - {video inside}

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

Hi Matt,

I've moved strongly the monitor's post when the games was off, and...
it's working ;-) I let the game on more than 20 minutes from now and
the picture has no problem since:-)
Thans a lot for your help !!!
Tomorrow, I'll buy special liquid for washing all electronic parts, It
will help for sure ;-)
Thanks again and sorry for my bad English =)
