Hey guys - I picked up an Arkanoid on Friday, and it has a nice little wave to the monitor, as well as a little foldover on the side of the screen (the monitor's mounted vertically). I figured a cap kit would most likely be a quick and easy fix. When I pulled the monitor chassis, it completely looked unfamiliar, but the chassis is marked as Electrohome 38-G07-905-XX, October 1980. The problem is that this chassis looks nothing like a G07. Also, about half of the board has been de-populated at some point, and there's a daughter board mounted over the de-populated section of the board. This daughter board is where the video input is as well. As mentioned, it's not a regular G07 chassis, as the board is physically longer than a G07. Also, the cap numbers on the board don't match the cap numbers on the G07 cap kit. It has some characteristics that look somewhat like a G07, though.
I am figuring this may be some sort of early variant of the G07 chassis. Has anyone run across something like this before?
