Yep, the pot has been replaced, the filter cap as well and the voltage has been checked. I had uploaded some videos as pictures about 45 days ago, but got so frustrated with it, I moved on to other parts of the restoration. At this point I am going to either end of breaking something (by...

So I am almost finished with my Donkey Kong restoration and all I have left is the monitor. I have recapped it twice, replaced the pots, filter, etc.. and I still have a wavy image and sync issues. I'm looking for someone in the Indianapolis area who would like to have a go at it or a...

Unfortunately no dice, didn't change at all. Does anyone have any ideas? Recap? Or does anyone know anybody in the Indianapolis area that might be able/want to fix this?

So who is psychotic enough to look at this monitor if I can't get it figured out soon? Or does anyone know someone in the Indianapolis area that does monitor repair, I have lots of beer! :) I have also attached a modified circuit diagram I have been following for this project.

I wish I would have known about the tuning spray before replacing the pots, I liked the old ones a lot better. The new ones don't have knobs, they are just this circular plastic and its harder to adjust them. Oh well.

Here is a video of the wave. Wierd thing is that I have not powered it on since saturday and the wave is almost unnoticeable in the video (as compared to it being ridiculous last time). But as I was uploading the video to photobucket, I left the monitor on and its getting more and more...

Alright, frustration has subsided and I just want to get this thing fixed. It still has the horizontal wave (in relation to vertical mounting of the monitor). With the new pots, IC601 and B+ filter/pot I was able to get it to slow down on the spinning quite a bit, but not perfect. There seems to...

No dice. Replaced IC601, b+ filter cap and pot, and all other pots. Someone also said to check c453 to make sure it was in right, its aligned with the stripe on the board so it seems right to me. Now also it won't adjust lower than 110.0 on the b+ where it was at 108.8 before. Getting so...

So I reflowed everything and I still have the issue. I did tweak a lot longer with the pots and got it a bit better but it is really touchy. I also rechecked all my connections again with a multimeter and desoldered all my pots and checked them on the multimeter. I have decided after doing a lot...

Sorry to be another "what's this worth" post, but I have been really wanting to get a pinball and wouldn't mind getting one on the cheap. I have someone that has a Bally Night Rider (solid state) for sale and wants $300 for it. It currently only lights up and does not play. As far as I can see...

Nevermind finally found one. Not the problem. :(

Does anyone have a good hi-res pic of a Sanyo chassis off the monitor so the wiring can be seen. I have a suspicion that something may be wired incorrectly on mine and I'm trying to figure it out, a pic of a good one would be fantastic.

The pots seem to be super super touchy to the point where its hard to adjust. Does that indicate that I might need new pots or are they normally that finicky?

So I completed my first cap kit. Yay! I took my time and checked all the solder joints and also used a multimeter with a continuity tester to check that all my connections were solid. When I turned on the monitor for the first time the color is great in comparison and the dark spots in the...

I will get these finalized and printed this weekend. I should be able to ship them in a cardboard envelope with just a stamp, so shipping should be nothing. Just toss me a couple bucks for my time slicing them up and stuff and we'll call it square. Send me a PM with your shipping info and I...
