> What are display corrector panels?
Ah, sorry-- Zitt's link covers the basics. In a nutshell it's an adjustable
version of the correction circuitry found on Atari vector games (or
something like the Major Havoc->Space Duel converter board) that helps
correct the pincushion type distortion seen when running Star Wars (or MH)
on a WG6100 monitor instead of an amplifone.
This is actually the 4th encarnation of the board and is different than the
link Zitt dug up (it's quite a bit smaller, has full soldermask/silkscreen,
etc.), but functionally it's the same.
Here's the installation manual: <http://multigame.com/DC_rev3.PDF>

I'd post a picture, but I can't for the life of me find the ones I took last
year... (For grins I had a "group photo" of one of each revision from the
original ~1996(?) version up to the present.)
The 'panel' is just electronics manufacturing lingo-- I actually have ten of
the display corrects on each sheet of circuit board material. It's called a
"panel" and it speeds up machine assembly. They're broken apart for testing
and shipped out as single pieces...
