I finally got my DoDonPachi from @benime and rotated my monitor for the first time on this machine.

Its throwing off the colors on the bottom half.

Is there a degauss button somewhere I'm missing or do I have the grab the Deguass coil? (I would prefer not to)

The two buttons on the inside are for service and credit.

Thanks

No degauss button. You could try cycling power given the CRT has built in degauss but may have to resort to an external wand.
 
Usually the monitor degauss itself..sometimes is the earth magnetic field that causes that once you flip it.. try slowly rotating the cab to have the cab facing different directions to see if it goes away.. another thing is to put a small magnet where you see that issue... don’t do the wand thing unless you absolutely need too.

Uhh, why not?

Putting a magnet on it should be the last thing you do. It's a last resort.

As for degaussing, most chassis are auto degaussing. I have never seen a Cute chassis, but on some chassis the PTC wears out from use and eventually stops working, and the coil around the tube isn't driven anymore. May or may not be your issue.
