The Display Corrector takes the outputs of an
Atari Star Wars or Empire Strikes Back boardset
and applies a mathematical function to correct
for "bowing" on the monitor screen when
these games are used with a Wells Gardner 6100
series monitor. The Display Corrector can be
used with other game boards that exhibit the same
problem (Major Havoc for example), but the
included documentation is specific to Star
Wars/ESB. Once installed, the Display Corrector
has a noticeable effect of the
"egg-shape" of the Death Star turning
back to a "sphere" and a very positive
effect on the text and graphics quality
throughout the game.

The board includes four
adjustable potentiometers which modify the
X-position, X-width, X-linearity, and the amount
of "correction". There are two power
LEDs which light when +15V and -15V are present.
Installation generally will
require some soldering and is slightly more
involved than just "plug and play".
