Best way for the unskilled to get a recap preformed?
About 9 months ago I picked up a Sunset Riders cabinet that seemed to have spent much of it's life on location outdoors in some fashion. When I first got it, it was displaying the telltale signs of the need for a recap, a wavy picture, vertical lines, faded picture on half the screen, etc. It wasn't too bad, but unfortunately it's getting progressively worse. Now the picture seems to go in and out of focus at will, and no amount of fiddling with the knobs seem to fix it.
So that leads me to my question, what would be the best way for someone like me who does not have the skills, time, or patience to do it himself to get his monitor recapped? While I've learned quite a bit about repairing the game since I've got it, a cap kit is not something I would be comfortable doing on my own, unless there were no other options. Is there anyone out there I could send the board to that would be willing to do the recap for me? For that matter, is there anywhere where I could find instructions on how to remove the board from the monitor in the first place?
The label on my monitor reads WG425970, which doesn't seem to be listed on the Bob Roberts site. I've included some pictures for reference. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
