So working on the Pacman for my mom. I had a G07 on the shelf never tried it befor,well I hooked it up to Pacman and no Blue what so ever and I dont think there was any green.The monitor that came with pacman was totally dead. No fuses blown hots looked good and transistors were not shorted,thinking flyback.So back to the monitor with no blue....Did a search on KLOV and checked most of the suggestions. Well the RGB from the pcb is putting out the 2.5 volts dc to the monitor like it should,no cold slodier joints at any of the pins, or those big color driver things on the neck board. I did find someone has changed the blue pot on the neck board,(probly hoping that was it) So I have come to the conclusion the blue gun in the tube is bad...What do you guys think...Is this a pretty rare thing...I was thinking of switching the tube from the dead GO7 and see if that works, or if that one is missing blue also then I know its the monitor chassis. I just hate srewing with those suction cups because I have yet to ever drain one to the frame. I use insulated needlenose pliers with black tape on the end to remove the cup and I also have a wire going from the needlenose to ground just incase voltage were to get to the pliers :) So what do you guys think.....Thankyou in advance....Dave

Just found one of mods posts about R517 and turning the brightness way up.I'll have check the voltage and try that.

Scared I hate that word let say uncomfortable sounds more manly that way :) That thing looks purfect I've seen one used befor. So the aligator clip goes to ground correct and then you shove the tip under the suction cup and doesnt it sort of lower the voltage going to ground while draining it at the same time......Thankyou I think I'll get one.he states in the auction as is since he hasnt used it in allong time what are the odds of it not working,pretty slim?
 
I will be out your way sometime in the near future with my entire repair kit. This includes a discharge tool and rejuvenator. We can test your tubes and repair one or both of your chassis if you'd like me to stop by your place as well.

If you are interested send me a PM.
