Just did a full rebuild of a G07. New cabs, hot, filter cap, and flyback.

When I have the monitor powered on its is arcing about 1 time every minute to the chassis from the ferrite core on the rear of the flyback.

Does this sound like a bad flyback out of the box?

Is your neck board ground wire connected?
 
You have the boot on the focus wire too right? I would pull the flyback and re-solder it. It's possible maybe there's a short under it.

Linx,

This is more common than you think. I have had specifically G07 Fly backs about blow up right in front of me newly installed and fresh out of the box.

I cannot find where you can buy them anymore who is not out of stock on these?

Anyone?
 

+1 to this. There is no other supplier for G07 flybacks that will stand behind their product 100% and actually has reliable product.

Every other vendor I've purchased these flybacks from are plagued with shoddy parts. At least half of them either blow up on first fire, or within a very short service life. And when they go, they take the HOT and fuses with them too. Super annoying.

Buy with confidence from Peter at arcadepartsandrepair.com. I used to say that Peter was like the new "Bob Roberts" of arcade parts, but that's an insult to Peter, so I'll just say this: buy whatever you can from him. It's all good stuff.
