I recently bought a Wizard of Wor converted to Yie Ar Kung-Fu and it came with an installed K4600 horizontal monitor and two vertical mount spares, one of which is another K4600.
The monitor in the machine works and the colors are correct, it probably could use caps but the screen is burned really bad.
The spare monitor is in a vertical bracket and the screen has no burn at all. I connected it to the game last night and took these pics.
My question is twofold.
#1 since these are both K4600's I should be able to swap the unburned tube into the working bracket and chassis, right?
#2 The chassis on the monitor shown in the pics is much much cleaner and the boards look much newer than the one installed in the machine. The serial number on the newer one is 50,000 numbers higher than the older burned one. Do the off colors look to be something that can be corrected by me, an electronics layperson with a cap kit and some adjustments? If so I was going to use the good tube and its matching chassis when I rebuild the machine. If not then I will combine the good tube and working chassis to make one good monitor.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Brian
