Is there anyone in Denver who can troubleshoot and repair my Astroids monitor? It was working fine, and now it doesn't fire up. I've checked all the fuses. That's about all I'm capable of doing. :(
 
There are people on here you can ship your chassis to for repair.

Do you get neck glow? (Do you know what I mean by neck glow?)
 
There are very few people who do home repairs.

Typically what people do is remove the boards and/or high voltage cage from the monitor, ship them to someone who fixes them (like me), then reinstall them.

However you must first go through the process to make sure you know the monitor is actually the issue, as there are cases where it can seem that way, but not be.

First things first: Do you own a DMM?

Second, is the game playing blind? (Meaning can you coin it up, start a game, and hear it playing, just with no picture?)
 
That isn't the "neck glow" you are looking for.

It should be an orange glow (take the back off, turn the lights off, look at the tube neck near the socket.) It isn't very bright, but you'll see orange there if you have neck glow.

Do you see orange there?

Hi Andrew:

Thanks for the response.

Yes the game plays blind.

Are you will to help me troubleshoot over the phone the machine, for a fee?
 
here is the stupid question. does the spot killer light come on and go off or does it stay on?

It blinks when you turn the game on. If you have signal, it goes off. Otherwise, it's on when there is no signal, indicating your CRT is turned off so it doesn't burn a spot in your screen.
