Anyone else tried teaching someone arcade repair? I have a friend who always comes over and hangs out while im working. I figured he may as well help with some repairs so I asked if he wanted to recap some monitors since I had 4 waiting to be recapped. So after teaching him the mandatory stuff like discharging the monitor and what-not, I turned him loose on a K4600. After the cap kit....dead. Ok, here's a Sanyo 20EZ. If you can do that you can do any of them. After....dead. Alright, here's another 20Z....Success!
Not sure what the issue is with the 4600. I checked all his work and it looks great. No caps in backwards, values right, solder work looks good, etc. Its a low HV problem and may have been there to begin with because I dont remember if I tested that one before. The second one was totally dead after the rebuild but previously working with foldover. Cause was he knocked a pot loose during the cap kit install. Resoldering the pot on brought it back to life.
Thats it, not an exiting story. Im just bored and thought I would share.
