How hard are neckboards to obtain and replace? Also, anyone here specialize in fixing neckboards? Im a clutz and I have now broken two diff neckboards while moving monitors.....sigh.

They're usually pretty easy to fix... the won't come out pretty, but they'll work. Just run wires to complete the traces that were broken.

And start screwing your monitors in already (or check them before you load them when you get a new one)... only took me one BEAUTIFUL broken 4600 so learn my lesson. ... damn you gravity.
 
I actually broke this one trying to put it up in ghosts n goblins, it has to be the weirdest angle for a monitor I've had to deal with, but all it took was a small accidental nudge while trying to get it up in the cab, and being very old and brittle, the neckboard cracked....faillllll.
 
yeah, if you can do a cap kit it shouldn't be too hard to fix a broken neckboard.

if you can't do a cap kit it's high time you learned.

Hopefully banging the neckboard hard enough to crack it didn't crack the neck of the tube, too...
 
I checked the neck, it seems fine, and after doing a little soldering, I was able to get a little life back into the monitor...but not enough...

Welp, sounds like I should come down there and take that cab off your hands... I'd offer to pay for it, but hell... it's got a broken neckboard. :p
 
Just a regular A/B 5 minute epoxy. I wouldnt use super glue, its not as strong. You could use super glue to tack it in place to hold things together until the epoxy cures.
