Dead Hanterex Polos, and What Preventative Maintenance to Do?
I have MK2 and KI cabs, both with the Hantarex Polo monitors.
Both of these monitors are dead. No heater glow, no HV whine, nada. Fuses are good, but that's all I've been able to test with the monitors still in the cabinets. These particular cabinets sure make monitor work tough.
I read in another thread about the HOTs being a VERY common problem with these, and ordered the suggested Mouser replacement. Here's the thread: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=158491&highlight=polo+hot+mouser&page=2
I was wondering, while I have the chassis out, what other cheap fixin's could I try? Or what other very problematic parts should I go ahead and replace to save further headaches?
Thanks in advance
