So I just picked up a Space Invaders Deluxe that plays blind. I found the anode wire ripped out of the white plastic thing (pictured below). Being this is the first B/W monitor I've worked on I have a few questions.
I was able to solder the wire back together by removing the black shaft then a cap like piece of metal that the wire originally attached to and put it back together.
I checked the voltage at Q17 and was right at 73v both before and after the repair.
After the repair I got neck glow and just a line running horizontal across the center of the screen. The tube tested fine with the rejuv. When I coin the game up you can see movement in the white line (about a 1/4 inch wide)..it consistent with move the laser left and right
My question is with the anode wire repair is this chassis ever going to work? I'm note sure what I took apart to fix it was originally sealed system. It certainly came apart easy like it was meant to come apart.
I'm gonna order a cap kit for now...wondering if anyone has made this repair and was successful
