computer space GE tv horz collapse

I'm trying to fix a computer space. I got the boards running, but the
monitor was all messed up, replaced 4 or 5 of the tubes and now it
draws a picture, but it is collapsed horizontally to about 2 inches. I
was hoping someone might be able to give me a clue on where to go from
here. Maybe a schmatic or something on the GE s-3 chassis. Thank Eric

Eric, I don't recall the specific usenet header but there is a TV
repair and collecting newsgroup that might better answer your
questions.

The set in your game if original is a GE Adventurer II. It has the
tuner section modified to accept input from the game's logic. If you
post over there, be sure to mention the set type and project or they'll
likely send you back here

Good luck,
Mike Doyle

sounds like you have a bad pot/width coil (not sure what they did in that
set...)

We have schematics for the complete Computer Space game, both single
and two player versions including the TV.
