First off i need a new monitor and my buddy said to also get a new sound board as a combo from happ? What model am i looking for? Also i need new locks for my centipede and for my space duel. Space duel takes 3 locks and centipede takes 2. What size locks do i need and can i order so 1 key will work for each game( so 1 key for 3 locks on space duel and 1 different key to work on 2 locks of centipede)
Thanks for the help....
 
Also, what's wrong with your monitor? That's not something you replace... you really need to repair it. They don't make standard arcade monitors anymore.

The monitor may just need a cap kit. Pretty easy to do, once the monitor is identified.

My centipede came with a GO7 but all three monitors are interchangeable.

So i took some pictures, let me know if you guys can tell which one it is? Hope my pictures are good enough to see... I also replaced starter and light since starters come in 2 packs. So nice bright marquee light.
Thanks again guys!

The blue and white sticker on picture #2 will likely contain G07... Notice the matching row of pots on the back of your picture with the G07 picture above.

I recently bought a G07 from chris25810 - i think he posted recently in the for sale section

good luck
 
Hah, yea it looks like your monitor has no molex connector on the power, hence the 2 black wires with copper wiring coming out of them. Youll need to find a way to attach that to the monitor power cable, which is probably floating around unhooked somewhere in your cabinet.
 
That's an Electrohome G07 monitor. And if it's dead, then you probably need a flyback. Very common in that monitor, and an inexpensive repair. To verify, pull the chassis and check the fuses. There are two. One large one on the line input, and one small one for the B+ supply. If the small one is blown, then your flyback is almost definitely shot. It will have also fried the horizontal output transistor (2SD870). You can get a rebuild kit from Bob Roberts that includes the flyback, all the capacitors, the HOT and the fuse. I think it's like $35 or so.

Note - when pulling the chassis, be very mindful not to touch the terminals at the bottom of the big filter capacitor. That WILL hold a charge if the small fuse has blown, and the monitor was plugged in recently. Discharge by shorting out it's terminals.
