I'm assuming that the monitor is a compatible G07. There are no markings on the monitor except on the tube.
I just bought a really beat up Galaga last weekend. Nothing worked on it. The CP harness was cut up, etc. I disconnected the power supplies and connected a new power supply. I rewired everything from scratch. New connectors etc. I had everything put back into the cabinet and the picture up. I just started testing the functionality and SNAP POP! The monitor went out. I checked the monitor fuse. Blown. Also a small yellow flat capacitor (?) exploded like a party favor on the bottom of the monitor board.
This was not the original monitor in this cabinet. It was a used one from a Billiards game. Should I just replace the whole setup?
The cord from the monitor says "You must use a Isolation Transformer". Is that how I blew this up?
Did the fuse and capacitor go from age? It was working. The game still functioned (I heard audio).
