  1. Electrohome G07-CBO degaussing and horizontal centering

    This is the original "numbers matching" monitor for my Missile Command upright, and it's been in storage for the past 15 years (I've been using a Happ Vision Pro in my Missile Command for the past 15 years). Recently I decided I wanted to put the original monitor back in my cabinet, so I...
  2. Happ Vision Pro is suddenly blurry

    It looks like flyback transformers are available at least. I adjusted the focus pot slightly clockwise which brought it back into focus, but after about 10 minutes, it was out of focus again. Then I adjusted it counterclockwise back to about where it originally was, which brought it into focus...
  3. Happ Vision Pro is suddenly blurry

    I bought this monitor new in 2009 and this is the first issue I've ever had with it. I bought two other identical monitors at around the same time, and still no issues yet with either one of those. I turned my Missile Command on for the first time in several months, and the monitor came up...
  4. Problems with a PC monitor

    I'd say it's fixed. It was on for about 10 hours yesterday, and it's been on all day today, and it's been rock solid; not even a hint of a glitch. Before, it had gotten so bad that it was glitching more often than not, and turning it off for a few minutes and turning it back on wasn't even...
  5. Problems with a PC monitor

    Well that was a three-day job that I don't want to do again, ever. This monitor is way more convoluted than any arcade monitor I've worked on, and it has 94 electrolytic capacitors (I replaced them all; $40 worth of Rubycon and Nichicon 105°C capacitors; the originals were mostly CapXon, which...
  6. Problems with a PC monitor

    A dried out capacitor has permanently changed in value, which should result in a constant problem rather than an intermittent one.
  7. Problems with a PC monitor

    Yes, but I still wouldn't expect it. I have lots of stuff the same age as and older than this monitor that still works perfectly, including the Dell 17" CRT from the late '90s that's connected to my spare PC. Also, I would expect a capacitor that has gone bad to result in a permanent problem...
  8. Problems with a PC monitor

    Well, the focus is still good on this monitor; it hasn't degraded at all since I started using it in 2006. It was used when I got it, but it hadn't been used much because it had no screen burn. It has screen burn now though, because it's been on pretty much all day every day for the past 11...
  9. Problems with a PC monitor

    Fixing this is probably a long shot because it isn't an arcade monitor, and parts are probably hard-to-impossible to find, but: It is a Dell P1230 22" CRT monitor, which is a rebadged Mitsubishi Diamondtron. It was a very expensive monitor when new ($679 MSRP, though I bought it used in 2006...
  10. Trace repair

    I use 22-gauge solid core wire. Strip a bit of the insulation off both ends and form a small loop in the wire on both ends. Then I desolder one leg of a nearby component which shares the same trace as the damaged/missing pad, place the loop over the leg, and solder it. Then position the other...
  11. Nintendo/Sanyo monitors: what causes "jailbars"?

    Yeah, it doesn't make any difference. I don't normally use the shield cage cover (which contains the RFI filter board).
  12. Nintendo/Sanyo monitors: what causes "jailbars"?

    Yes, but what is it? Molex KK series .156" (3.96mm) pitch?
  13. Nintendo/Sanyo monitors: what causes "jailbars"?

    Yes. I've been wondering if it's a design flaw or something that's out of spec. I wish I had an easy way to connect the game board to a non-Sanyo monitor as a test. I have three Happ Vision Pros here which I bought new, and are still like new, and the picture on them is as close to perfect as...
  14. Nintendo/Sanyo monitors: what causes "jailbars"?

    As I said, the "jailbars" are only noticeable in the green areas of the graphics, especially dark green. That's why you're only seeing them in the K.O. meter at the top of the screen. There are also a couple/few jailbars on the far left of the screen, which are always visible regardless of...
  15. Nintendo/Sanyo monitors: what causes "jailbars"?

    My monitors have no screen burn whatsoever.
  16. Nintendo/Sanyo monitors: what causes "jailbars"?

    Nintendo/Sanyo monitors: what causes "jailbars"? I've replaced every single electrolytic capacitor in the pair of Sanyo 20-Z2AW monitors in my Super Punch-Out machine (including the B+ filter capacitor); three times since I got the machine in 2005, and the jailbars are still there. They are...
  17. Adjusting convergence on a Nintendo/Sanyo monitor

    Thanks. I downloaded a K7000 manual and your post is a good summary of it.
  18. Adjusting convergence on a Nintendo/Sanyo monitor

    Here's a picture of a test grid on my upper monitor in my Super Punch-Out machine: And here are closeup pictures: Upper left-hand corner: Upper right-hand corner: Lower left-hand corner: Lower right-hand corner: Static convergence adjustment ("convergence rings") can't fix that...
  19. Adjusting colors on a Nintendo/Sanyo monitor

    Thanks. I made a harness to connect a JAMMA board to the Sanyo monitors in my SPO machine: I tested it with an SNK Guerrilla War PCB (it was the easiest JAMMA board for me to get to for testing purposes) and it worked perfectly. The Guerilla War colors looked great as-is, though it could have...
  20. Adjusting colors on a Nintendo/Sanyo monitor

    I just checked the service mode of my Street Fighter II board and it has graduated color bars and what they call a "dot cloth" (white grid with dots in the center of each square). That's all I need. The SFII board outputs negative composite sync. The Sanyo expects sync on pin #6 of its 6-pin...
