Help ID'ing 25 inch WG 4900 style monitor & horizontal width coil failure?
I need help ID'ing this monitor.
It looks like a normal Wells Gardner 4900 chassis except for a small add on card (1 inch x 1 inch) that controls the vertical position. The card has a pot and a transistor. It is hooked up to a 25 inch tube. What is the model number? I need a cap kit from Bob Roberts.
What are the symptoms of a horizontal width coil failure?
This is mounted vertically and the image refuses to stretch across the screen horizontally (black bars on the left and right sides of the screen). I know it needs a cap kit, but I am wondering if this is something worse. Will a horizontal width coil from a regular 4900 chassis work as a replacement?
I know a cap kit is the first place to start, but I've never seen one quite this bad. Cold solder joints are probably on the chassis too.
