Ok, last week I picked up this Pacman for $110.00 non-working. I believe the monitor is original to the game with Pacman screen burn-in. The monitor is a WG 19K4606 and it was already removed from the game when I got it. I tried to get some life out of the pacman board to see if the game would play blind but after cleaning the edge connector and fixing a broken wire on the test switch and found the ground wire pin to the control panel had pushed out the Molex connector I now get the correct voltages on the board and when I trip the coin switch the coin counter registers a credit but when I hit player 1 or player 2 button I get nothing. I decided to hook up a monitor and see if I was getting any video of if the test screen would show but I couldn't find my 13" G07 test monitor. How do you loose a monitor? Well I decided to try the 4606 that came with the game, figured it would be best to try it and see if it had any life signs as I was hoping maybe all it needed was a cap kit. I hooked it up and powered up the game and no picture but I could hear a low tic tic sound and fuse number 8 the 1.5 A slow blow fuse in the bottom of the cabinet started glowing orange. I quickly cut the power. I assume this is the fuse for the monitor, it's one on the 2 fuse block on the left side on the transformers the one to the top or toward the front of the cabinet. The 3 amp fuse in the monitor is good.
So I brought the monitor in and put it on the bench and began pulling it apart to install a cap kit. I did a search and read everything I could find on a WG4600 and have a flow chart, schematic and parts list and I have a Bob Roberts cap kit. I have capped working 4600s before with no problems but this is my first dead one. Besides checking the HOT and replacing the caps are their any other parts I should check out wile I have it apart? And If I need a new HOT where is the best place to get one as I didn't see one on Bob's site unless theirs a replacement number. Mine has a 2SC1893. I am going to start with a cap kit and I would appreciate any idea's
Thanks
