    Horizontal width is too wide for this pac-man. Googled it but only
    found dead ends, no help. Has no narrow and wide jumpers. Anyone?

    Thanks,

    the problem is with c606 47MFD 50 volt cap near flyback, replace it and you'll be able to turn your width down.

    You are awesome for posting this. I had just re-capped c412,c413 and c414 and the h-size issue was my only lingering problem. Putting a new cap on c606 got me all the way home.

    Thanks,
    Joe

    I am having this same issue with a new Kortek KTN-2001 monitor! Is the original cap at C606 a 47MFD 50V cap, and the fix for having more adjustment to shrink the size of the viewable screen vertically when using the monitor in a game like a Galaga or Pac-
    man upright, is just to change the cap with a new cap of the same value?
    Or, is C606 being replaced with a cap of a different value? I bought cap kits specifically for this monitor and replaced C606 with the cap in the kit, but cannot get the entire game picture to fit on the tube! Please email me at vicanita@aol.com, in
    addition to replying to this post, in case others are experiencing the same issue I am.

    Thanks in advance,

    I was able to find a matching replacement at my local Fry's Electronics. So, to answer your question, I did replace it with a capacitor of matching voltage and capacitance.
