I had been running this monitor for a few hours every week for the last month (maybe 10hrs total) after replacing:
- Caps
- Flyback
- HOT
- F901
- D503
- R908
- Reflowed Connectors
Today, I realized that I hadn't checked the B+ so I adjusted it from 118 to a steady 120.
I coined up, and played for a few minutes until the vertical deflection went 'blip' 'blip' then into a collapse. The game still played, and a light smell of 'magic smoke' wafted from the coin door.
From the threads that I've found on G07 VC, It seems like one (or more) of these are the likely culprit.
- FR401
- Vertical Transistors
- IC501
Have you guys ever had one of those 'let the smoke out'? The FR401 maybe?
Also, I've been trying to figure out an equivalent for 2sd478 (not NTE). Anyone know of one?
