I got a Ridge Racer with a WG 33" monitor, known to be non-working. I put the rejuvenator on it and went through all the functions but it seems that the guns are ALL bad. Is this likely? It is also obvious that the chassis included was not the original as it does not fit in the footprint of the monitor frame. I have power up to the board but no neck glow. Is this worth messing with or is there a way to just get a flat-screen TV and use that? Thanks.

just out of dumb curiosity, is it a WG K8000?

I have a Ridge Racer like this that needs caps, and there's NO markings anywhere on the monitor for a model #. Chad says it's a K8000 though. nobody carries a pre-made K8000 kit either, lol

There's always "Pxxx" numbers screened on the chassis and neckboard, etc that you can cross reference.
If yours has the separate power supply board then it most likely is a K8000 variant.

They're a poorly documented monitor, so those that do carry kits for them can't be certain everything will exactly match what you have on yours. Most will be correct, but there may be a few oddballs or missing amongst the bunch.
Bob Roberts has a kit.....but read his notes on it.

Never seen one with ALL guns bad.
Is everything just dead shorted ?
Do the tube heaters glow with the rejuvenator properly when testing emissions ?

I would agree with Kevin here , I have shot a lot of tubes and never had three bad guns , maybe check your settings or try a couple other tubes out
 
Well, settings are a guess, at best. I can't find the settings in my book that match the numbers on the tube. As I only had one 33" listing, I went with that. I also thought that it was odd that all the guns would be bad. Maybe I will make a concerted effort to fix the chassis! Thanks, guys.
 
I can't read apparently. :p

I'm fairly certain the caps on mine are original. the place we bought it from was very lavish, and they probably demolish their games before installing monitor capkits. real heavy redemption-oriented game room chain.

maybe the markings are still good and I can document the caps for Bob, see if they match up with one of the other 3 listings he's got.

for fun, my monitor has multiple pincushion issues, and the H-Pos won't adjust any further, I think it's got foldover in fact.
 
I'm picking up a California Speed 33" tomorrow morning. I'll bet it's the same monitor.
 
Good luck finding parts. Bob Roberts said he did not carry the voltage regulator that I need.
