its an electrohome G07 and i cant get the vertical to stop rolling no matter how much i try adjusting the pot, it wont lock

Could just be a bad pot.

[chadtower]

Yeah, I'd reflow the solder on the pot first, then test the pot itself... then do a cap kit.

Of course, it could probably use a cap kit anyway if it's never had one. We're just warning you that this may not be strictly a cap issue.

the pot has been changed (more than once just to make sure the replacement wasnt bad)

yea, they are all pretty old and crappy lookin caps on it, so, even if it doesnt fix it....it probably wouldnt hurt and, if it doesnt fix the problem, at least it will have some new parts on there for when we find out what the actual problem is

[Arcade Antics]

Out of curiosity, what game is it?

Some games have additional pots on the motherboard (e.g., Mario Bros.) that control the horizontal / vertical position.

it is a Vigilante board....but, i have also tried a P.O.W. board in the cabinet and i get the same rolling

[tholly]

well, i put in a cap kit and changes x302 and x306 and im still having the same problem

i havent changed ic502 which bob roberts said is part HA11244

he wants $10 + $6 shipping for one part

my father found a 10 or 12 pack or something like that for $10

does anyone know where i can get just one of these for less than $16 or does anyone have an extra one that they know is new? i would prefer to spend a little less than $16 for this and i dont need to have more than one of them lying around

Hmm... does your cabinet have a big blue cap in the bottom of it? I've heard of that going bad causing problems like that, but I assume you have a switching power supply? Otherwise, I bought one of those HA11244's from Bob a while ago (I think it was $6 at the time), but I think it was defective anyway, because IIRC, it wouldn't do anything or something when I put that chip in (it's been a while). The problem ended up being fixed by the cap kit anyway.

Anyway, it may be cheaper just to buy a broken G07 chassis on ebay, that way you've got a bunch of parts that you can take from, and they're usually only a couple of $$$.

I replaced the IC502. The replacement matches up with the numbers of the part already on the board. When I put the replacement in, I get no picture at all. When the original one is in, i get the rolling picture. I thought the replacement was bad, so I returned it for a new one. The same thing happens. When the new part is put in, there is no picture. The next of the tube doesn't light up with the new part. I don't know what to do from here....any advice.

Triple check all the connections? Maybe something got bumped, nudged or jostled?
