Centipede g07 repair kit installed - no life in monitor
Hey,
A couple of months ago, I bought a Centipede upright well knowing it had monitor problems.
When I received it and turned it on, I could se white/green/red flicker on the monitor and heard a crackling noise comming from the monitor. Therefore I bought and installed a g07 repair kit from Bob Roberts, hoping it could solve some of the problems the machine had.
But now nothing comes on the monitor, when I turn the machine on. The fuses are still okay, and I'm measuring 130v to the monitor. Does anyone have a detailed description on where to measure voltages between, to look into what is failing at the moment on the monitor? I double checked my soldering job and it doesnt look like there should be any cold soldering or other mistakes - but it doesnt seem like there is any juice going in to the tube.
Another thing is, when I put the game into test mode, a continuous beep sequence starts, and only stops when I turn testmode off again. I have the Centipede manual and can't seem to find this mentioned anywhere.
