On my SSF-2 Arcade my monitor # is 25k7191. Does the 25 relates to the size of the monitor and if i want to buy a replacement monitor will any 25" monitor work in my chassis
 
The first number on the model usually shows the size, so you do have a 25 inch monitor. Any 25 inch monitor should fit in your cabinet. Street Fighter 2 is a CGA so any standard resolution 25 should be fine. I'm assuming that you want to repace the entire monitor and not just the picture tube on it.

There are places that you can send just the monitor board and get it fixed for much less than a new monitor.
 
tell us what your existing monitor is doing. there's some very knowledgeable gentlemen on this site that could help you and save you even more money. you might even learn a thing or two in the process if you're into the technical end of things.

new monitors are more expensive, the Makvisions also are not true 25" monitors (for whatever friggin reason) they're 24.8", unless you get one of the digital tri-modes that Wells-Gardner puts out... then you're talking even more money. then all the monitor companies make LCDs now too, which look gross. they're an abomination, but I guess they gotta cater to the yuppy bar crowds that like Golden Tee and Silver Strike and like pretty HD shit.

there's a lot of stuff out there used. just gotta know where to look.

it's generally a very good thing to fix what can be fixed, for the sake of preserving the equipment used to fuel this hobby/business/time-and-money-wasting-experience for the reasons I outlined above.
 
The reason they're 24.8, I thought, was FCC (or whatever) demanded no monitor above 25 could be such and such a resolution. In other words, 25 inches and above can NOT be low res.... or in this case, standard res. WG did the same thing for a few months with a 24.8 tube before stopping all together. 24.8 is still close enough to 25 without actually being 25. This is why. I own a 24.8 WG and I can't tell the difference.
 
Yeah, a 25" and 24.8" look the same size but it becomes obvious that they aren't when you put a 24.8" into a game that had a bezel for a 25" that there is a size difference. The Makvisions come with a black bezel that covers up the difference.
 
thanks Guys Great info

Well i think it will be better to just get a new one because here in the Bahamas it hard to find components over here.
But my problem is that it consistently lose focus. When it startup the focus is ok but as it warms up the focus goes and the colours starts to run.

thanks again guys
