Fortune One still alive...

It's nice to flip this on, after a few months and get a working machine. Other than my minor CRT issue, it still works...taking my money... sometimes giving me money.  :applause:

It doesn't stretch enough to fill the screen. I've tried adjusting the vertical height and it won't "reach." I can make the background black and it looks nearly perfect but that's just masking out the problem. I'm not experienced at all the CRT's though.

If you don't want to mess with it a TV repair shop could probably knock it out quite easily. Voltage measurements on the legs of the vertical output would probably lead right to the problem. Low input, bad cap or resistor. Low output, bad regulator. There's other possibilities but these are the likely culprits. You'd need a schematic or the vertical output chip specs to see what input and output voltages are supposed to be

I don't even know where to go around here for a TV repair shop... I guess I an look on the internet but I'm afraid it would be too costly. I know there's a link somewhere on the old site for a place that repairs monitors.
Heck if it wasn't hard... I'd buy a cap kit and do it myself but it may be more that that?
Are monitors "plug and play" to a certain degree? I mean... could I wire in the connector from my old one to a working one and just shove it in? Or would I have to also wire in the controls for color, hue, contrast, brightness?

My experience is with TV so I can't be much help to answer your questions. I know on the old site there was talk of different types of video input used by different companies so just swapping plugs may not work. It's not like home electronics that are basically idiot proof where the cable, a/v or HDMI plug is the same on all brands. Hopefully someone with the right info will chime in and teach us both, lol!

I must be losing my mind. I found my my old thread on this... and you were there! It all came back to me now. We've "resolved" this before, but not really.  :rotfl:
Have a look...
http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=17409.0

Ahhh I miss some of those people on the old site.

I added one more picture... just a close up showing missing "blocks" of color. Not sure what that means.

I think that's a typical Fortune I display for the credits and coin-in stuff -- I don't think there's anything wrong.

Sorry I just noticed your response! It's the medication, really it is. 
If I make the screen black, it covers out the missing area, but when it's blue, it drops an entire section of screen on the lower part. And when I first turn it on, the cards are "squishier." After a few minutes, they get bigger! When I first bought the machine, the cards were larger... then one day after I moved the machine, this cropped up. There's a thread on this on the old site and I just left it alone. BUT... the darn thing keeps working and I'd like to get it back to 100% if it's possible to do... cheaply. I wish I had more knowledge of CRT's.

do you know what chassis your machine has? Is it one of the RGB chassis?

I'm not sure what you mean. The CRT chassis or the slot chassis?

Sorry.. When I refer to the chassis, I'm thinking the power supply. You then have the CRT or monitor.

Let me try to be more clear:

I believe that the Fortune I uses a black background for the number characters used for coin-in and credits.  If you use a black background on the screen, it blends right in.  If you use a blue background, you can see the defined black background of the characters (including the blank characters used to the left of the the credits).

Well it does look better with black but I still think there's something wrong with the CRT... I just don' t know exactly what.
But I heard, from a post waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back on the old site, that the blue was the "proper" background.
I'm not sure though...

I've actually gone and replaced the 3 adjusting pots with resistors. I got tired of the screen color wanting to flicker and change colors. I have mine setup with the blue back round. I do this to all Fortune 1 boards I get. I think it looks good, but that me...

Okay I poured another glass of wine...  :drinking_wine:
The problem with the back background is that I lose my pink color on card #3 and it just looks red, like #1.
When it's blue, the card color is defined properly.

That NLG tag on the photos is too big!
