I'm not going to tell you how long I stared at the boards in that thing trying to find some kind of adjustment knobs! So a failing power supply will make the image seem to shrink (vertically)? I have no knowledge of testing or fixing power supplies (other than what little I learned back in the old garage band days when an amp would stop making noise and I thought I could fix it with a screwdriver and some guitar string) Thanks for the post on the CC networking stuff O.M., I'll try some of those ideas next time I break out that machine!
