Can someone tell me what 2 fuses this power block needs? I am getting a power wave in the monitor (similar to a Ms. Pac/Pac) and I want to stop at Radioshack on the way home to pick some up and see if that's the issue. I'll replace the fuse block as well.
 
I doubt its the fuses, but I *believe* its 1 amp and 3 amp. In most cases for a wavy monitor its the funky big ass cap on the monitor chassis. If you do some searching there's some posts here with how to fix and even possibly a source to get the proper replacement.

Really, that big black bitch? Well what is the value on it? I'm no where near the machine or a manual.
 
Found this for a Wells 19V1001 in an old post...when you say power wave, is the whole picture waving back and forth, or are you getting a roll that goes up the screen?

The B+ on that monitor should be 75 volts. The adjustment is a pot laying flat on the chassis, on the corner of the circuit board closest to the large silver can capacitor.

The test point is marked #2, according to the manual. I forget exactly where it is.

This monitor uses a multi-section B+ filter cap - it's that silver can. It actually contains four capacitors in one, and can be replaced with four separate capacitors. Just tie all the cap's negative leads together. According to the manual, the sections are:
800uf@125v
200uf@100v
200uf@50v
20uf@200v
These old values are not commonly seen any more. Replacements can safely use slightly larger capacitance values. So you can substitute 820uf for 800uf, 220uf for 200uf, and 22uf for 20uf.

Its a roll that starts at the bottom and goes up, but the words on the title screen move side to side like they are flags waving in the breeze. It actually gives the effect of being underwater, so at first I thought it was legit.
 
Well played this baby 3 times this morning, got my highest score ever (7900) left it on in attract mode for about 20 minutes, burning it in and meaning to come back and play another round. Next thing I know, I hear a loud ass static sound and the screen was covered in garbage. Turned it off and back on, got the same garbage, was able to coin it up and play, but the garbage made it impossible to see what you were doing. Turned it off for 5 minutes, turned it back on and everything was fine. Now I'm scared to ever turn it on again. Should I replace the power connector that goes to the power board? Can I wire in pig tails and connect a modern 24 pin molex connector off the board to prevent the broken solder joints that come from pushing in the original? I hate when this shit happens. I shot an email out to Yeckley, but with the way he responds I am not expecting much in the way of 'real time' help. Fuck.
