Vintage Sinbad Backbox and Backglass for sale. Not a full game. No boards included. Glass art in very good condition, with little scratches on two of the blue LED windows. Available for local pickup in Mokena IL or buyer pays for shipping costs. $350 or best offer.

Update: I visited a buddy of mine and he was nice enough to allow me to pick the part from one of his scrap monitor boards. The part that was in the monitor board I was working on (also what the schematic and BOM call for) was a DD20 (diode array). The one found in the two scrap boards was a...

Ok, that did not last long. The customer said it lasted about 6 to 10 hours then died once again. So far I found the HOT was ok, but the diode D707 (DD20) was completely shorted. Does anyone know of an equivalent or cross to this component?

Update all: I ended up ordering and replacing the Flyback. I also replaced the HOT with the FJL6920 that Zeno recommended (Thanks). The B+ is now at 117vdc and holding strong. The game looks great now (see attached). I am very confident that the Flyback was the issue where it would work...

Merry Christmas all. I tried a few more things the other day. I did the 'lamp test' and it lit a 60watt light bulb with no problem with the B+ staying steady at 119vdc. As I said before, the B+ also stays steady when set to the 15k scan rate, but at the 25k scan rate, the B+ starts around...

Ok, more weird findings. According to the schematic, pins 2 and 3 of the 15k/25k connector are jumpered. When in the 15k position, C722 (0.47uF) is connected to the Horiz output pin. In the 25k position C719 (0.27uF) is sent to the Horiz output pin. The C719 cap measures good on the cap meter...

mecha: No, my scan select plug looks great. No burns and metal connectors look great. zenomorp: R104 was open when I first started working on the monitor. It was the first thing I replaced right away.

"Again, are you setting the sweep mod jumper to the 25 position? It needs to be set to the empty position (or disconnected) to run on 25…" Ok, I did the capacitor kit on the U5000. I also found R824 had two resistors in paralell put together and came out to 2.2 ohms. According to the book...

"Again, are you setting the sweep mod jumper to the 25 position? It needs to be set to the empty position (or disconnected) to run on 25…" So, do you think that my having the monitor in the Cruisin game, with big connector set to 25k, but with the small jumper with the white wire going to the...

Oh, I forgot to ask. Is the FJL6920 a better HOT transistor replacement?

Oh! I just got what you were talking about. I seen that note in the "Wells Garner Monitor for Blitz Service Bulletin" document. I don't remember changing that connector when I tried it out on the Cruisin game. Do you think that may have contributed to the HOT transistor failure? Anyway, I am...

Oh, on the bench and set to 15k scan rate, the B+ is at 119 vdc.

Zenomorp, No, when I put the monitor on the Cruisin USA game, and set the connector to the 25k position, it doesn't blow the HOT at first, but after I try to adjust the horizontal sync and other adjustments, it eventually fails. Then I see no neck glow and all I hear is a clicking noise as if...

Good day gentlemen, I have a U5000 monitor also. The monitor had a shorted HOT and came out of a Cruisin USA set up at 25k (Medium resolution). I replaced the HOT but was only able to test it on my bench at 15khz (normal resolution). It works at 15khz just fine with no problems, but when I...
