Thanks for looking.
OK, here's the backstory: I have two Capcom big blue cabs which had really dim monitors in them. I also had a Police Trainer and a Sega STV cab with very nice bright monitors.
I have never done a cap kit on a monitor, and in the interest of just getting my CPSII cabs up and running with nice picture, I swapped the monitors out of the STV and Police Trainer into them. The monitors in Big Blues had different molex connectors, so I chopped the lines and took them with. The connectors that ended up in the Big Blues had obvious Hot/Neutral lines, so they hooked up and ran fine. The big blues are OK.
The problem is: on Police Trainer AND the STV cab, the monitors originally out of the Big Blues had blue/red lines. In my haste, I hooked up blue to hot, and red to neutral without looking at the actual lines going into the chassis. They were reversed, and blew the fuses on the respective chassis'. In the STV cab, the 5amp breaker in the power supply also blew. (That won't reset, but that's another topic)
So...I corrected the lines, and replaced the fuses, but they blow every time I power them up.
Anyone know what I might check on the chassis for damage?
The STV cab has a Wells Gardner 25K7193 in it, and Police Trainer should be the same. Can't find a model number, but they both came out of Capcom cabs and have the same layout on the chassis'.
Would I be better off sending both those chassis' to be serviced?
Any help is much appreciated....
