Hey folks, gonna try to fix up this monitor here. Got a guy from Alvin, TX here looking to get rid of his Daytona cabinet, but the monitor died. I'm looking to help get rid of it if you know what I mean ^_- I'm waiting on space, and possibly I can trade him something.
Everything is fine as is, but the monitor. I've double checked the AC output from the connector in the cabinet and I get 119VAC so its ok. Guy told me that it started fading the last few times, and then a few electrical pops in the last few runs and it died completely. From his description it sounded like he was mentioning that static noise you hear from the startup from most of the older ones, but I wouldn't believe that to be the cause. I check over components and it doesn't look like any arcing did occur, there is only one burnt looking component (small burn near the lead) a large green resistor near the center of the board and horizontal width coil. Nothing else as far as I'm concerned, but I don't where to start really. I checked the chassis fuse and its ok, so the board still receives power when the cabinet is turned on, but you get no humm or any response from the chassis.......
Before I get some pictures up, I'm gonna see if anyone can direct me from there on just the description.
On a side note, there was an extra wire attached to the anode cap. The wire led straight to a weird looking box that was cable tied to the frame (Bottom looked like the same white filler you see on the bottom of a flyback). The only other wire leaving that box was grounded to the metal frame...........is this device designed to discharge the high voltage charges?
