Blurry Monitor Issue
I am fairly sure the issue is with the cabinet, but I am experiencing problems with the monitor picture. This is a Sega Blast City that I had a 2931 NANAO in. When I turn on the cabinet, I get a really blurry picture (sometimes extremely bad) but after 20 minutes, the pictures comes into better (not complete) focus. Unfortunately, the chassis took out the tube itself a few month back. So I threw in my spare NANAO MS9 monitor. It is a tested good monitor that I tried in my Astro City. With it in the Blast, same blurry picture that slowly comes into focus. I am fairly sure its a cabinet issue. I rebuilt my power supply and even tried my spare power supply...same issue. I also tried swapping in a spare I/O board and spare harness. Not sure what else it could be.

Re: Blurry Monitor Issue
I had a chance to pull the monitor today. I used contact cleaner on the CRT socket and the neck pins. Plus reseated all of the connections on the chassis several times. Still a blurry picture until warms up.
So I adjusted the flyback and noticed that I needed to crank the focus all the way over to get a decent picture (still not a crisp as it should be). Is my flyback going bad or weak? Are replacements available?

Also try to lower the contrast (not brightness).

Are you talking on the remote adjustment board?

Re: Blurry Monitor Issue
Contrast on the remote, gains on the remote. SCREEN pot on the flyback. If any of them are set too high, you can have a slightly out of focus picture.
It could be your tube too.

Re: Blurry Monitor Issue
Replace the CRT socket, no need the same but just same pinouts.
Are u using a step down Transformer? If yes you should be sure that it supply just 100-110v and not less than 5a!
