UPDATE.....
Volume issue was solved. Speakers worked so I assumed it was likely the amp. If I unplugged the jack leading to the amp, there was no sound, but just because there is audio when plugged in does not mean its being amplified. Borrowed and amp from a project BB1 and problem solved. So loud I had to turn it down. Now I just have to replace the one in the project machine.
The bigger issue was the top monitor. STAYOUTTABUNKER is right, it looks like crap. But, only because I have it mostly disassembled. Originally, there were little home made mounts that lifted the screen up, secured it and a tempered glass bezel with black painted areas to make it look professional. It looked nice, but the little mounts prevented the main door from closing properly. Anyhow, it appears to have been there for some time, so I can only assume it displayed correctly at some point, likely with a different game. The monitor is some deconstructed LG with the printed circuit glued to the back. It works, BUT, it's a 21" monitor. I believe that is the root of my display ratio issue. with some guidance from members here and on various FB groups, I've bought a 22" monitor to replace this one and see how it goes. Installed a new fan in the top box today as the one that was in there when I got it had a broken blade and the wiring was cut.
