Check the wiring from the boards to that molex connector and to the monitor. I destroyed a
perfectly good (well, as good as those get) deflection board trying to find the root of the exact
same problem you're talking about, only to find out it was the wiring the whole time.

Anybody know why all the vectors would be drawn at a 45 degree angle (which decreases as the game
warms up... about 20 minutes and all the vectors are about flat)? That's the final problem I have
w/mine, and I can't figure it out. Everything is in the right place (vert. and horiz deflection)
just... flat. :(

Thanks,

Derek
