Well I finally have the courage to try and cap my Final Fight. It really needs it.I am a complete noob to monitors and would like someone to help me identify this one. If the pics are too blurry let me know and I can try to borrow a friend's camera. Thanks for the help =)

Thanks!
is there a database with a list of monitors and pictures/info on them? I want to be proficient in all aspects of arcade repair but i am looking for materials to study and learn.

Also, I tried to condense the basics into a sticky thread here, with a general overview of how monitors work and some basic getting-started kinds of things, check the top of this section.

The best resource for a particular monitor is the manual - go to arcarc.xmission.com, there is a whole index of PDF's of monitor manuals there.

awesome. thanks.

i read the sticky first but it seemed foreign to me because i dont know how to tell them apart from eachother yet. after i look over the link you sent me i will go back to the sticky and i'm betting it will make better sense to me. I have absolutely no electrical.monitor experience so its kind of like a different language to me right now haha
 
There's no one thing to look at to tell monitors apart. You just have to examine it, look for identifying marks. Some monitors have a paper label glued to them with a model number. Many don't. Sometimes the labels are missing. You just have to look at things, like the position of the flyback transformer, layout of the controls. layout of the components, markings on the board, etc. It's like being able to identify the model and year of a car by looking at it. Once you become more familiar with lots of different monitors, you can spot them from across the room.

There are about five really common color raster monitors. Electrohome G07, WG 4600, WG4900, WG7000, and the Sanyo 20EZ. There are lots of other monitors, (Matsushita, Kortek, Sharp Image, etc.), but those five are probably the most common. They're all unique looking, get to know those first - you'll probably see a lot of them.
