CX40Hero Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi All, Can anyone recomment a cheap(ish) degaussing wand? I recently picked up a BAS Jamma cab from an arcade in Blackpool (UK) but since moving it to my home the colours fade out cormer to corner and ive been told a degaussing wand will sort out the issue. Thanks for any advice offered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX40Hero Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 All colours are correct in the top left and fade out towards the middle of the screen, then lose reds in the bottom right..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4300 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Usually, you can find used wands on eBay for under 30 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopperthedog Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Look up what type of monitor it is and see if it has a degaussing button on the chassis or in cab somewhere, you can also try electric drill or if you have a pc crt plug it in, get to degauss option in menu and hold pc crt up to your monitor and hit button a couple times. good day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pm3 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Yes drill supposed to work well, some tape magnets to the bit but might work without magnets, not sure Link below talks about it, on a side note I would like to be able to post on that forum for my pac man questions but I don't know anyone there to give me the magic approval to post, if someone could help me with that I would be grateful. https://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=208894 I am going to drill my pac man monitor today and will post pics of the difference. Now if I can get the distortion gone I would be happy Edited September 16, 2018 by Pm3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
