Hey p1899m, I noticed you haven't uploaded any vids in almost a year. I would love to see more instructional videos from you on working on the monitors and just arcade technical videos in general if you can find the time. Thanks!!!
Have a Mortal Kombat II arcade machine. The monitor's controls can adjust H&V size,brightness,& contrast, but it has a waviness or flutter. Images are bright and color is good, so didn't know if a cap kit would fix this. It is over the entire screen constantly, not just a wave every second or so. Like when someone turns on an appliance with a motor somewhere in your house. When playing you don't really notice. But if you watch the display it is easily evident. What could be the fix experts?
Well, ordered the cap kit for a Hantarex POLO 25" from Bob Roberts and installed it yesterday. WOW! Screen is like a new one now, AND I found a large cap missing from the board completely! It is SWEET now! Can't believe I did it on my first attempt! Thanks p1899m for the great tutorials. They were all I used to help with my installation and everything went smoothly.
the burgertime is currently undergoing a full restoration with new paint, new stenciled side art, new font art and of course new cpo. It's about a third way done.
The larger caps can hold a charge but usually nothing too dangerous. The only time I have been shocked by a cap was when one of the fuses on the monitor board had blown. So discharging at the anode didn't remove or lessen this charge due to the path being broken at the fuse. The shock was very minor and only startled me, it did not cause any harm.
Great video but just a little constructive criticism. Please take no offense. You should heat the cap wire up and then flow the solder into it. They look like cold joints as denoted by the balling up of the solder on the leg@8:43. These joint could open up over time as the chassis heats up and cools down.
2:54 MEOW!

Question do you need to discharge something else besides the anode?
Like caps ? , is there some that holds charge..?
because If i do that i use a suction Heater gun i wouldn't want to get zapped from beeing too clumsy

thanks I got a 29'' monitor I got to repair im scared as sh**to do it but i guess it's gonna be worth it if it works......
my plan was to put a brand new chassis on it so it can become trysync at the same time... but i need more info on the subject...
discharging the monitor on a table (not connected into arcade) will result in the same thing right?
if it's grounded to the metal frame...?
