Same thing on mine Dusty, grayer.
Definitely green on mine, you needed to let the program run an automatic color set.

Your monitor set up disc or program for your monitor that you can down liad, has a color set up program that can calibrate your color, so you see colors more ccurate, other than that there is a piece of hardware "Spider" that hooks up usually by USB and it sets your color settings, you don't need yhay, it is expensive, let your monitor calibrate it.

Did something stupid, it hung up so I gave it a couple of wacks with a rubber mallet....SNAP!
The guy I bought it from said he has broken 2 trying to get them off.

Gentle Persuasion applied at the proper location.

Never on the center web.

They can get cocked.

A Mark VII is fun. :D Four tubes at once. :eek:

OK, I see. I was putting a 10ER speed changer together the other day and got the movable arm cocked on the main casting. I had one heck of a time getting it apart. Fortunately I didn't break anything.
