TECH: Black Widow + WG 6100

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

Hi all,

I bought a Black Widow a few months back that played blind.
The wg 6100 had spot killer on with no chatter or heater glow, only a
dot in the center screen. Turning up the brightness had no effect. I
ordered a deluxe cap kit and finally attempted my first vector repair.

All went well and I was excited to see the game come up. The only
remaining issue is that the screen seems slightly slanted. I reflowed
all solder to the pin conectors and double checked my work before I
powerd up

The screen looks bright and crisp otherwise. Any help would be
greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Tony.

If the shape of the image is fine, just rotated a bit...simply
(carefully) rotate the yoke till the picture is level.
It might be a little loose and you may have bumped it when you did the
rebuild. Hope that helps,
mike
