Update: I found a donor tv....now want to make sure I don't mess it up
Oli - I just sent this to you via email...but posting in case Ken has something to add regarding how to connect the power....
Ok...so I replaced the cracked power resistor on the new chassis...
Ohms on the old monitor:
H 2.6 drops to 1.6?
V 5.6
Ohms on donor:
H2.2
V7.2
What ohms should I be reading on the donor tv? My neighbors left it out for pickup!! It has the correct # of posts and the neckboard fits.
What should I check on the new and the old chassis before i hook them up to try?
Also, I do not have a plug in the transformer so I cut the plug off of the Wei Ya chassis....the existing wire has 3 connectors - the plug only has 2? I did check for continuity and get a beep between the 2 purple - but do I need to do something with the green (ground?)
I made sure I have all the right connections ready to go:
degauss - 2 connections to board
Ground from wire around tv - to neckboard
Game wires (5) matched to correct color
V and H (4) wires matched to correct wires on yoke
Power: not sure what to do - connect cut power cord to the 2 wires that gave contuinity?
Thanks,
Chris
