I don't think so, I also just tried a pcb and same issue so i don't think it's the atomiswave.

And thank you everyone for trying to help with this issue.

I hope I can fix this.

Not the current issue but soon you'll have that too.

Adjust the trimmer for horizontal hold. It's one of the many along the edge of the main chassis.

Yes, it is. The right dip switch controls resolution. IIRC up is 15khz, down 31khz.

EDIT: manual confirms this, https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/images/9/9 ... manual.pdf (page 6)

Did you set the chassis back to 15kHz?

If so, and if you have the Atomiswave set to 15kHz then try adjusting the 15kHz horizontal hold pot on the chassis. It's the one marked H.H.15

There's a image of the pots [here] on the Wiki.

Make sure your chassis is set to "LOW".

Set Atomiswave to 15khz.

Adjust the pot circled in the pic below (H.H.15):

The arrow points to the "LOW" 15khz setting. The other connector is for "HIGH" 24khz.

You have to turn the pot while the monitor is on. When the image on the monitor stops looking like a squiggly mess, you've found the correct spot.

It looks like the pot still has factory glue on it, you will have to pick that off.
