Tech: Problem with Elevator Action display

[Guest]

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

I have an Elevator Action that plays well but the display has a
problem. All the moving objects (people, bullets, etc) have a brown box
around them. We tried adjusting the colors and when I dialed down the
red and green, the boxes went away and I just got a couple of
horizontal lines by the moving objects. Now the boxes are back and
won't go away. The color adjustment knobs no longer make them go away.
Any idea what might be wrong?

How does one go about fixing it?

Most likely a sprite generator issue, not a monitor issue.
