Is Bob Roberts taking orders now?

i'd recommend security0001, detailed cap kits, highest quality parts, and a great guy. Arcadepartsandrepair.com

Yeah, I buy alot from security0001. But he doesn't have the parts that Bob has. Unless I am mistaken, only Bob has the following for a Wells Garner K7000

C36 Critical Safety Cap
C38 Width Cap
R103 2.7 ohm 7 watt resistor

i should have all of them on the site. BTW i have about 800 products on the site now and with the stack on my desk i will have about 1100 products when i find time to get them all listed.

I'll be more than happy to place an order with you. Need to know if your parts will indeed work for a WG K7000. Seems your listed specs are different than Bob's:

C36 Critical Safety Cap You seem to carry two of these (here and here). In which scenario should I use one or the other?
R103 2.7 ohm 7 watt resistor. As far as I can tell, your 2.7 ohm resistor isn't of the same spec. Bob's site it has to be exact. I have seen this need for exactness posted on this forum somewhere as well. Do you have this part and not have it posted anywhere?

Looks like your C38 width cap is of a different spec, but your website says it is of higher tolerance and should work the same. Can you confirm this?

R103 does NOT need to be exactly 2.7 ohm. that is just a crazy statement. That part is just there to limit inrush on C55 and to provide some filtering for EMI. Those ceramic parts have horrible ppm stability anyways so it hardly matters what the tolerance is.

I have the same caps as peter does for the width cap and they are much better caps than what wells ever stuck in there.

I honestly wouldn't touch the safety cap unless you know with certainty that it is bad. If you are certain on replacing it, stick with the 6.2nF. Peter as I generally test everything before it goes up on the site I would not worry about the small details here.

Ok, so then which one of Peter's resistors should I purchase for the R103?

Cool. But the question remains, which of the two that Peter sells should be used in which application for the K7000?

Ok, cool. My plan was to stock up what Bob sells. I was under the impression that these are no longer produced and I should grab a few while I still can. If there is an alternative, then there is no rush.

He does not seem to stock them on the site. I probably don't have it nor could I ship it right now. Have you confirmed yours to be out of spec, ie > 4 ohms. These only fail when a really really bad hard short happens.

Buy his width cap kit.

They don't make them anymore. Read bobs page which you linked earlier for how to replace the cap with an available film cap. I am not 100% sure the cap peter has is the same spec rated since i can't find any datasheets on the original. I would imagine the originals were a special surge rated cap which i don't believe anyone arcade related sells. I've seen a few on mouser but they can be difficult to find in a footprint that would work. I would expect the replacement cap sold by peter would work just fine and I wouldn't worry about it.

In general you'll get much higher quality caps from either of these guys than from Bob. Bob was actually acquiring a pretty mediocre rep for his caps and flybacks.

Yeah, I make a conscious effort to buy from Ian & Peter equally. I realize they are the stewards of this hobby of ours, as was Bob, so I round-robin my purchases between them.

Ok, so Bob is gone. And I did do a search in the monitor sub-forum for that topic but came up empty. After I got responses on this thread that there were 20+ threads on the same subject, I modded my search against the entire forum on the title only, and viola. There were the plenty of questions on the same question I asked. Looks like apart from Ken Layton saying that Bob had great JAMMA harnesses that could be sourced no where else, seems we can get by thanks to guys like Peter and Ian. My concerns were those obscure K7000 parts. Seems most of them can be sourced from other places. That is good. But there are a few parts that I need.

less than mediocre his flybacks were blowing up and saying user error and his caps were the cheapest he could source

Why don't you ask Peter? security001 on KLOV or "Contact Us" from his site. He is super responsive.

sorry for the delay but i have been working round the clock upgrading the website and adding new features to it so i have had very limited time the last couple days. i have tried to source the exact drop in replacement for the R103 and a few other resistors of that type on other chassis too but the factory is very slow at getting back to me but i will keep trying. the other two caps you asked about will work just perfect as Ian stated but you will have to do the modification if you have a four leg critical cap.
 
If you have to have a genuine K7000 safety cap, aka cowpacitor, I have one NOS one I can sell you. Personally I prefer the replacements, they are so much smaller. Easier to replace the electrolytic cap in there and more airflow with the replacement. I have replaced the safety cap and done the mod on at least the last 40 K7000's I have rebuilt and not one has failed. The originals fail often and take out other parts in the process. If your going to be rebuilding these chassis' on a regular basis, you need to stock pile parts chassis'.

Relax. I have dealt with Peter many times. I know these things. Peter always responds to forum posts, perhaps someone else knows too, and perhaps someone else looking for the same info might find open discussion useful.

Thanks man. I'll get those parts from you and will wait for the R103.

Nah, seems I don't need the OG safety cap. Looks like the modern repro's will work better than fine based on this discussion. That was what I was planning to do with this order from Bob, stockpile parts. I have like 15 monitors to repair and am learning as I go. Might take you up on that offer from a while back to visit you for help sometime. Maybe wait for the weather to cool first.
 
No problem, just hit me up when you have time. Im like an hour from you. Btw, I know you know my buddy John from Wheaton. I lost a phone and his contact info, if you still have his number, can you pm it to me or call him and ask him to call me. I would really appreciate it. He hasn't logged on here in about a year.
