I've finally gotten my cocktail Missile Command into the house and started actually playing a little.
Right now, the monitor is wavering a little (the image is also too small, and the brightness is cranked way up, but that's just adjustments). Research on-net tells me that I should put a cap-kit on this thing, as well as change out the big blue capacitor (According to Bob Roberts, a bad big blue can cause monitor issues). THEN I can try adjusting the picture.
Swapping the big blue is no big deal, but I've never done any monitor work before. Does the cap-kit do anything to the neck board, or is it all on the chassis board?
I've got a second MC cocktail table, with no logic boards, and a broken necked monitor. Should I re-work that chassis and swap it into the good monitor (they are the same type of monitor)? Or should I cap the chassis from the good monitor because I know it started out functional?
Is there anything else I should be doing? Anything else I should be changing out that I just don't know about yet? I want to minimize the number of orders I have to make for parts.
Thanks!
