I just bought my first arcade cabinet and I'm still a noobie trying to figure out what's going on inside of it. It's a refurbished Street Fighter II cab, The monitor chassis is a WG 19K7635. This doesn't make any sense at all to me, SF2 should be a standard resolution display and the 19K7635 should be a medium resolution chassis. I can't spot a board inside that is doing scan conversion.

Can someone take a look at these images and point me in the right direction? I'm assuming all you need to see is the chassis, let me know if images of anything else would be helpful.

That is not a 19K7635. It is a 19K7201, and is a standard-res monitor that does not require an isolation transformer to operate...
 
Really? That's great news, standard resolution has so many more possibilites. Are you able to recognize the model of a chassis just by looking at pictures? That's impressive :)

I was just taking the model from this:

Is that sticker likely just leftover from whatever was in the cabinet previously?


Thanks so much for your help!
 
a few users on here can identify monitor chassis with just pictures.

considering the Mfg. date for the original monitor (that K7600) and that SF2 didn't exist yet in 1988 (hehe), it was just a monitor conversion where they swapped frames. it was either a medium res game previously or the K7200 was just mated to that monitor frame (for whatever reason).

make note that if you ever go to cap a K7200 that you get that cap kit for it, cause it's different than a K7000 (as mod noted, it doesn't require an isolation transformer) -- I say this because I've seen other people go out of their way to point this out, so I'm guessing some people mistakenly bought K7000 kits for them only to find a total mismatch. :)

and enjoy!
 
Interesting, now I'm wondering why it came with an isolation transformer built into it when I got it. Thanks for the tip on the cap kit, that was on the todo list in the near future.
 
The iso was probably already in the cab. It doesn't hurt anything to use it, so why make extra work for the op by removing it?
 
I have a dedicated Killer Instinct with a Hantarex Polo that doesn't require an iso, yet it has one anyway. not until later in arcade games lifespans (I say around 1995 when that U5000 and its K8000 abomination cousin surfaced) did some companies start doing away with isos.

I still maintain that the reason you have a frame that says K7600 is because someone previously swapped frames. could've been your monitor mounts have a weird arrangement, or the K7200 just didn't have a frame. I don't know if the yokes match or if they use the same tubes, but that could explain the switch too.

just be thankful it's a K7200. :)
