I am trying to find a manual for an old zenith monitor cd25mvrf07 - we use this in our bowling alley. I have got manual for wells gardner monitors we also use, but cannot find anything for zenith. could anyone please help
 
Let's see a picture of the monitor. Zenith - with one exception and it was branded as a WG - didn't make monitors, they made tubes.
 
I've seen actual Zenith monitors (factory) in a few games....a Wacko and a Ms. Pac-Man. My guess, Bally used them when Wells-Gardner and Electrohone couldn't meet their demand. You can find schematics in the bad of some of the MCR games manuals. Bob Roberts also sells a cap kit. They suck to work on...and they seem to be nothing more than severly hacked TVs. Schematic link below. Many years later came the Wells-Gardner Zenith/K7000 hybrid....a very different monitor from this older Zenith. Also, I don't recognize your model numbers, but anything's possible. A picture would be helpful.

It could be hybrid, we have wgk7000 monitors and boards are similar, will take a photo tomorrow when and work and post it up, monitors are 25". main problem is that we are getting around 1/2 covered with white lines going across, we have been advised to change electrolytics and capacitor c51, but just wanted a manual to find both items correctly

That model number does not match anything in the Sam's PhotoFact service manuals. You might have to contact Zenith's parts department directly and buy the factory manual.

Here I am, eating my own words. I cracked open my Burger Time for the first time today only to find a Zenith branded monitor.

I could use a manual for it, as I hooked up what I thought was the ground/sync cable and promptly blew up my test board, a Tetris board. :(

Metering the pins, I found it was outputting 14VDC on one pin, and 30VDC on the other!

Model forthcoming - I was so pissed at the time I shut everything down and walked away.
