I have this Ms Pac in my personal collection and the picture looked not
totaly sharp maybee just ever so slightly blurry so I figured it was
the burn in.I put in a real nice wells Gardner monitor no burn in and
it looks better infact I thought it was fine.Then I saw a new monitor
in a cocktail and it was as sharp as ever.Then I looked at mine again
and it still doesnt have that sharp clarity like the new one I saw.Are
the new ones just better.Is this something that could be wrong with my
Ms Pac board or is it that I just threw in another monitor not quite up
to par.Or hey the games 30 years old thats as good as it gets.I dont
know maybee its me and I just need a new prescription for my
glasses.Any input would be great....Thanks....Dave

Have you tried adjusting the focus setting on the monitor? I've improved
the picture on a number of my games just by messing with that one.

I've got a few games with brand new Happs monitors in them that sit
next to re-capped old ones. I can definately see a slight difference in
clarity/sharpness.

I've seen some k7000's that were a tad fuzzy due to picture tube
problems.

Why not toss a brand new Kortek monitor into that Ms.Pacman? They are
on sale for $155 at www.penn-ray.com I installed one in a Pole
Position and it was night and day improvement and razor sharp.
